Score my own deck with AI (free)The best-known seed deck ever: 14 short slides that tell the whole story – problem, solution, proof, market, model – in a few minutes.
Not a polished fundraising deck but a concept document: how an on-demand black-car service ordered from a phone would work, starting in San Francisco.
Reid Hoffman later published this deck with his own notes on why each slide was there – which makes it one of the most useful decks to study.
A short, mission-led deck from the year YouTube launched: become the place where people share their own videos online.
Buffer’s founders published their seed deck openly. It is a good example of a small SaaS that raised on real revenue rather than a big vision.
Front’s CEO shared the Series A deck publicly; it is often cited as a model of clarity for B2B SaaS.
Not a real company deck but the outline Sequoia Capital recommends to founders – the backbone of most decks you will see.
Scores are HelpRange's own opinion on six criteria (story, problem & solution, market, traction, team, the ask), judged by the standards of the time. We describe the decks; we do not host them.
