“I’m impressed.”

What happens when a VC looks at a well-designed deck? Let’s watch and see.

Welcome back to Second Opinion, the newsletter that offers unfiltered feedback on real pitch decks.

In today’s edition, we get a front-row seat as venture capitalist and angel investor Haley Bryant reviews and evaluates a pitch deck. This is like living rent-free inside an investor’s head.

As always, the trusty Deck Doctors are also onscreen offering unique insights and critiques.

The episode

This episode is about 14 minutes long.
