Everyone has a deck.
Think about that- it’s a bit silly to say but it’s true from a pragmatic perspective if you’re in tech. Every single person in SF has a deck, somewhere.
Most of those decks haven’t been touched in years.
A much smaller percentage have been recently updated.
A smaller percentage of that have been put in front of someone and received feeedback.
A smaller percentage of that got term sheets.
A smaller percentage of that have shipped that pitch deck worth of ideas.
A smaller percentage of that have developed a second generation product based on that first gen shipout.
A near zero percentage of those have shipped cellular based hardware, that lives in peoples cars, traveling at 80mph, to customers in nine countries (with orders from 26), supporting them for almost four years.
No one remaining has taken all that effort and turned it into a microphone for listening to customer needs and developed a 17 product roadmap spanning six different verticals.
…that is all to say:
Ideas are free— everyone has a pitch deck.
Execution. Is. Everything.
