*This post is part of our “pitch deck” series where we dissect the seed stage pitch deck and discuss the ideal flow for a pitch. Now it’s time to set the stage with the early traction you have. Seed stage VCs are realistic about how much traction a very raw company might have.

Today I want to spell out the ideal email deck – at least, ideal if you’re sending it to me. :) Short & sweet ~5 slides is sufficient Should be skimmable in 10-30 seconds; E.g. Fonts / colors that are easy to read Not too much text / content Include your contact info The purpose of your email deck is just to get a meeting.

You do a little bit of acquisition and then you have users to work with on retention, activation, monetization, etc. They are too small for sales, but we’ll serve them using product led growth motion or the automated emails, etc.
