Ask HN: Do you need a pitchdeck to raise a seed round?
Why can't you just talk with VC and have a conversation without slides?
1. VCs and their partners might review the deck before deciding to meet with you. They will refer to the deck internally after your meeting. You need some concise material to share beyond your verbal conversations.
2. A deck shows you are prepared and good at communication, both of which are important founder skills.
3. You’re asking them for money. A lot of money. Come prepared and make it easy for them.
Slide decks are easy to put together. Don’t try to cut corners here.
