| Today, we are going to look at this seed deck from Aera used to raise $4.25M. | | Simple opening slide: if I was advising them, I’d say to cut one of the words from their 4 Ps. It’s just basic psychology that we tend to remember words in 3s, adding the 4th makes it significantly less impactful and more difficult for the brain to process. | | Starting with a perspective framer is always great. I don’t love this perspective framer but from a pitch deck building pov this is the right 2nd slide to have. | | Team this early in a pre-seed deck is allowed. Especially if your team is the most impressive part of the deck (in which case its highly advised). | | Educational background slide here, the text itself isn’t clear so I’d hope that the pitch that accompanied it was. I’d always aim to have your slides capable of standing alone. | | | Apple’s Starlink Update Sparks Huge Earning Opportunity | | Apple just secretly added Starlink satellite support to iPhones through iOS 18.3. | One of the biggest potential winners? Mode Mobile. | Mode’s EarnPhone already reaches 490M+ users that have earned over $1B, and that’s before global satellite coverage. With SpaceX eliminating "dead zones," Mode's earning technology can now reach billions more in unbanked and rural populations worldwide. | Their global expansion is perfectly timed, and investors like you still have a chance to invest in their pre-IPO offering at $0.52/share. | With their recent 32,481% revenue growth and newly reserved Nasdaq ticker, Mode is one step closer to a potential IPO. | Tap into a $1T opportunity — invest now at just $0.52/share and get up to 20% bonus. | Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com. This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobile’s Regulation A+ Offering. | Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur. | The Deloitte rankings are based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their fiscal-year revenue growth percentage over a three-year period. | |

| | Way too detailed here, hard to read the text but again the general strategy of a wider problem/market slide followed by a “challenge” slide that deep dives into it is a winning format. | | Simple product slide, I’d have liked it to more easily tie into the slides above but that is more a fault of the earlier slides than this one. | | | | This really should have been earlier in the pitch. I would have build the pitch around this slide and not the product slide. | | | | | Own AI deployment, grow your career | | Making AI actually work day to day is becoming its own job. Hear from three people doing it: Simone Santiago Broad (Yoco), Yelva Espinoza (Zumba Fitness), and Fin's Dave Lynch. They share what the role really looks like, how it came to exist, the skills worth hiring for, and the challenges they're tackling right now. Watch the full conversation on demand. | Watch now |
