I'm with....most people in saying that this was an extremely nice looking site/pitch deck. But it scares me that all the talk and publicity about this BUSINESS is based on how pretty it made its slideshow. Even to the point that Dressrush pushed it that way (look at the tweet they sent out. Changing pitch decks, not changing wedding shopping). It's one thing to get credit for some great technology and design work, especially on a site like this, but this is being actively promoted. How many people here looked at this great deck a week ago, but as of yesterday couldn't recall what the business did? I'm in that group. AppSumo for weddings? I guess, except I had to look up what AppSumo was. Seems to me we're moving so far towards the "ideas don't matter, but tech and talent do" that it can't be good. I'm not knocking their business. But I guess that's my point; neither is anyone else.

What you'll find is that often the talk and publicity is the dog and pony show needed to drive business. That's not to say it isn't valuable; it is. The problem is that ultimately the dog and pony show has to accomplish it's objective: get funding. That's the not so easy part.
