Pitch Deck Collection Of 42 VC Funded Startups

You need to raise some money for your awesome startup, only you need a pesky pitch deck to show venture capitalists (VC) and you don’t know what one looks like?

It’s not all that easy to get access to pitch decks, so I have done the work for you.

This blog is a collection of pitch decks that are available to view online. Some are exceptional (LinkedIn) and some I recommend just for a little inspiration.

I have also created a template you can download here: Template pitch deck which I recommend using.
