Let’s talk real fundraising success.

I’ve curated a list of 25 decks that raised $800 million.

Those decks blew everything out of the water.

Not theory.
Not templates.
Real decks.
Real checks.


What makes these decks different?

When you break them down, they all follow a formula:

1. Prove the value
What’s the business?
What’s the upside?
Where’s the money?

2. Simplify the complex
Explain hard stuff like you're talking to a smart 12-year-old.

3. Show what makes you different
Why this, why now, why you?

4. Tell a damn good story
Because humans invest in vision, not just numbers.


Some of the decks inside:

🛏️ The Airbnb deck that changed startup fundraising forever
👥 The LinkedIn deck that sold a social graph before people knew what it was
📦 The WeWork deck that... well, raised billions (take notes, not lifestyle tips)
🎧 The Mixpanel deck that nailed a technical product in a clear, digestible way
👟 The Rothy’s deck (consumer play done right)
💸 The Front deck (with an investor memo on why it worked)

And many more from companies that raised serious rounds, from Seed to Series C and beyond.


This is for you if:

You’re building something ambitious
You want to stop pitching on hope
You’re tired of “guessing what VCs want”
You want a proven way to stand out and raise
