In the competitive startup landscape, knowing if your pitch deck is making the right impression can be elusive. The venture community's tendency to avoid direct feedback leaves founders uncertain and struggling to make improvements.

In our weekly recorded deck roast event exclusively for Thunder community founders, we strive to break this barrier and provide invaluable insights to propel your business forward.

During our recent deck roast, we had the privilege of evaluating pitch decks from these esteemed companies. Here are the scores for the decks from Staymenity and others:

  1. Staymenity - Rating of 2
  2. Proimprover Inc. - Rating of 2
  3. Packachange Inc. - Rating of 4
  4. Scent Lab - Rating of 4
  5. Pineapple Square - Rating of 2
  6. MOOD Social & Dating - Rating of 3
  7. BioAlg - Rating of 3

Our Scoring System:

Each pitch deck received a final score from 0 to 5, indicating its readiness for funding:

  • 0: Suggests an unfinished or highly deficient deck, hindering progress.
  • 1: Indicates a lack of effort in crafting a compelling presentation.
  • 2: Acknowledges some coherent elements but falls short of convincing investors.
  • 3: Identifies potential misalignment between a strong business and a weak deck or vice versa.
  • 4: Highlights a promising venture with minor details or missing pieces to address.
  • 5: Proclaims readiness for funding, impressing investors with a well-rounded deck.
