Pitch Deck Teardown (TechCrunch series)

Haje Jan Kamps · TechCrunch Freemium Intermediate

You asked for annotated real title slides from funded startups, and this is the deepest running archive of exactly that: slide-by-slide teardowns of decks that actually raised (MegaMod's $1.9M seed, Xyte's $30M Series A, Uber's pre-seed), with the cover slide critiqued alongside the rest. Reading three or four of these shows you precisely how a weak logo-and-mission title slide reads to an investor versus one that states who it serves in the first line.

• See real cover slides from decks that closed money, annotated for what the investor actually registers in three seconds
• Contrast a vague category title slide against a concrete who-plus-outcome one across multiple real companies
• Some full teardowns sit behind TechCrunch's paywall, but many cover-slide critiques and images are readable free
