  Note about thispitch deck guide: Our guide is inspired by industry leader pitch templates such as Guy Kawasaki “The Only 10 Slides You Need in Your Pitch” and Startup Weekend Pitch Deck 101. We added essential elements we see missing from traditional VC pitches, such as a value propositions that include the impact & mission tied to creativity (not just profit). As well as making space for the value creative founders bring in terms of understanding a customer that is a creative, or how competitors are failing creatives. Because we only invest in companies that are using exponential technologies, we specify tech trends in ways that other pitch decks do not.
