BREAKING: I’m Sharing the Pitch Decks That Built Unicorns

The original decks, the patterns behind them, and what founders can learn from what actually worked

Before companies like Airbnb, Uber, or Revolut were widely recognised, they were just early-stage startups trying to explain themselves clearly enough to raise their first checks.

Those early pitch decks were not impressive because of design or polish. They worked because the story was easy to follow and hard to misunderstand.

I went back and studied the original pitch decks behind some of the most successful startups of the last decade, and what stood out was not cleverness, but restraint. The best decks focused on making a few things obvious and removed almost everything else.
