This is very helpful deck in the context of B2C (business to consumer) companies who are looking for funding. The deck does not contain the text, so here is the text of all high-level points in the deck:
1. Identify your perfect customers --Focus on them and on nothing else.
2. Stop writing code. --Did you talk to customers yet?
3. Investment != success --It's a means to an end.
4. Investor meetings aren't job interviews --Build a relationship over time.
5. Talk about your idea --startups die from obscurity but thrive on feedback.
6. Be careful with hires --Trust your gut feeling.
7. Don't worry about engineering --Worry about getting users.
8. It's a marathon, not a sprint --90% of the time, it's about endurance.
9. Don't study the outliers --Study real business.
10. Your relationship with your co-founders is critical --Don't "go to bed" angry.
11. Relax. --You're going to make mistakes. It's fine.

- Retric 13y agoWhile spam filers work well, posting someone else's email in plain text seems rude IMO.
- TheBiv 13y agoFair. Although the individual did post it in his slide deck to be reached for contact.
- pavedwalden 13y agoI think the concern is that there are crawlers that collect plaintext addresses, so typing out an address is a different level of disclosure than including it in an image.
- randartie 13y agoAt least he had good intentions, I wouldn't call it rude like Rentric did.
