I like this deck because it gets right down to the current health and state of the company. Too many pitches leave that out -- focusing only on the future, as if things will magically come together once X million dollars are stirred into the mixing pot. Ideally, the story you want to sell is that your company doesn't need the money to survive. Your company needs the money to scale more quickly than you could by bootstrapping. (And hopefully that story is true).
