Why we score this way
We studied the actual seed decks that closed: Intercom (8 slides, $600K), Tinder (10 slides), Airbnb (12 slides). The pattern is clear.
Short beats comprehensive
The decks that try to cover everything end up saying nothing. The ones that pick one insight and hammer it home are the ones that closed. We penalize clutter.
Narrative over numbers
Coinbase pitched Bitcoin at $6.25. Airbnb's revenue projections were wrong. Facebook's deck was barely a fundraising document. We weight conviction and clarity higher than precision at seed stage.
Substance over storytelling
WeWork's deck read like a masterclass in narrative. The fundamentals were hollow. We check that your story is backed by real insight, not just polished words.
