Pitch Deck Teardown: Northspyre's $25 million Series B deckHajeJanKamps
Northspyre is seeking a $25 million investment to expand its real estate development management platform. The platform uses automation, data analytics, and AI to help customers reduce project cost overruns by 21-66% and save $2-6 million on a typical $100 million project.

Our AI connects enterprises and their customers over messaging apps to reduce costs by 70% per interaction.

This file is the opening / kick-off to IsobarCreate32 in San Francisco on November 30th & December 1st at APPNATION III.
Couple of folks asked me for it, so here it is with my presenter notes (and lots of spelling errors).
This file is pretty specific to the rules and judging for IsobarCreate hackathons with a bit of NFC background / POV from a talk I gave a couple of weeks ago in NYC.

The document discusses business model assumptions and provides examples of analyzing assumptions. It begins with explaining the importance of understanding assumptions and using examples to improve one's business model.

The document encourages listing key assumptions, prioritizing the most critical to test, and considering how assumptions may change over time given the evolving business environment.
D3 Design By Games Agile India Pune 2005Henry Jacob
The document discusses the process of designing a digital solution from understanding customer needs to prototyping and testing ideas. It presents 13 steps: 1) defining the project meaning and goals, 2) naming the project, 3) analyzing key customer personas, 4) mapping the problem domain, 5) researching user roles, 6) understanding a user's daily tasks, 7) reimagining processes, 8) capturing user stories, 9) designing interactions, 10) outlining navigation, 11) creating low-fidelity prototypes, 12) envisioning intelligent features, and 13) testing designs from the user's perspective. The overall approach emphasizes deep customer understanding before developing technology-driven solutions.
Yu-kai Chou's Workshop for Accenture on Gamification (Octalysis) Yu-kai Chou
The document provides an overview of gamification by Yu-kai Chou. It begins with Chou's background and credentials in gamification. It then discusses how gamification can be used to engage users and motivate repetitive tasks like leveling up in games. Examples are given of successfully gamified systems like Foldit and SAP's community network. The core of gamification is discussed as designing for human motivation and feelings rather than just adding game elements. An octalysis framework is introduced that categorizes eight core drives that gamification can appeal to. The importance of human-focused design is emphasized over just adding points, badges, and leaderboards.
Slides I created for Pitch Deck seminar I gave at Samurai Startup Island in Tokyo, October 7, 2015, to help entrepreneurs craft a presentation to tell the story of their startup clearly and persuasively.
The document discusses effective strategies for crafting compelling value propositions and pitches. It emphasizes the importance of being clear about what your company does, credible that you can deliver results, and compelling by demonstrating how you are significantly better than alternatives. A three-part model is presented for crafting an engaging pitch that includes: 1) describing what you do better than anyone, 2) the key benefits you offer customers, and 3) how you differentiate from others. Alternative approaches like telling a story, painting a picture, or dropping big names are also mentioned.
Presenter: Kaitlyn Witman, Rainfactory, Cofounder & Director of Product Marketing
Crowdfunding has exploded in the past few years as a way to quickly rally a community around a product. It's created a unique opportunity to pitch your story to millions of early adopters. Now, marketers at all levels are adapting this formula to launch all types of products large and small. The best campaigns come from a proven method, and all follow this unspoken format of storytelling. Dive in & dissect what makes each pitch successful. Crowdsource ideas and build a community. In this session, learn the art of crafting the perfect product pitch from a seasoned veteran of nearly 40 crowdfunding campaigns, 14 of which have raised over $1 million.
The document provides an overview of Ryo's background and career in design and prototyping. It then discusses what design and prototyping are, how they are used to develop ideas into products, and how prototypes with varying levels of fidelity can be created using tools like Figma to test ideas with users and iterate on designs. The document emphasizes that early prototypes do not need to be perfect and getting feedback is more important than the tools used.

This document summarizes 12 lessons on startups that Guy Kawasaki learned from Steve Jobs. The lessons include: (1) experts are often clueless and entrepreneurs should not listen to them, (2) customers cannot envision revolutionary new products, (3) the biggest challenges produce the best work, (4) design is extremely important, (5) presentations should have big graphics and fonts, (6) products should make huge leaps rather than small iterative changes, (7) whether something works or does not work is all that matters, (8) value is different from price, (9) only hire "A players" who are better than yourself, (10) CEOs should demo their own products, (11
How LEGO caught the Cluetrain (Razorfish version)communityguy
This document summarizes how LEGO transformed from seeing adult fans as "weird" to embracing them as a creative community. It discusses how LEGO originally had a traditional "company-customer" relationship but shifted to see customers as partners in co-creating the marketplace. This allowed LEGO to design better sets that appealed to multiple ages and led to healthier financial results. The key was recognizing that "markets are conversations" and engaging with fans as collaborators rather than just consumers.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Intro
pitchdeckcoach.com
"We founded Rewind in March 2020, but in
the last few months our business has
taken off. It's not surprising that we've
been inundated by investors. We don't
have time to move with everyone so
instead we're going to do something
pretty atypical: we're going to share our
investor presentation with the world.
More than anything we hope that this
transparency builds trust in us by our
customers. If after watching our
presentation you happen to want to
invest visit rewind.ai/invest. So here
it goes."
The story
•
•
•
•
Opens with traction — exponential 'hockey stick' growth.
Whatever they're selling, people love it
.
Reference to 'inundated by investors' creates investor FOMO.
Sharing the deck publicly shows high confidence that creates
more FOMO. Open competition pushes investors to move fast
and make their first offer their best offer.
Unlike most 'cover' slides, there's no mention of the company
name or product value proposition, but no matter in this
instance because the hockey stick growth grabs attention and
creates anticipation.

of Rewind. I started to go deaf in my
20s and when I turned 30 I tried a
hearing aid for the first time. It
changed my life. To lose a sense and
gain it back again feels like gaining a
superpower. Ever since that moment I
have been on a hunt for ways that
technology can augment human
capabilities and give us superpowers.
That led me to memory…"

Introduces the team early.
Great ideas need great execution. Great execution requires a

Using logos is a quick way to establish that team members
have worked at successful startups and are likely to have the

$707K in ARR, coupled with the retention metrics shared earlier,
show that Rewind has built a customer acquisition and
retention engine that works on a small scale.
They are clearly ready for more money to leverage their first-
mover advantage, scale the growth engine, and establish
themselves as the de facto market leader.

Unit Economics
pitchdeckcoach.com
"The unit economics of our business is
very strong. Our customer acquisition
cost is about $3 and our lifetime value
is $475 and so the LTV to CAC is about
160."
The story

3 big numbers. Rule of three redux.
CAC to LTV is a popular SaaS metric that measures customer
acquisition efficiency.
CAC is typically the total combined cost of all Marketing and
Sales payroll and program expense in a given period.
LTV is the lifetime value (average contract term x average
contract value) of all customers acquired in that same period.
LTV > 3x CAC is good, 160x is exceptional.

Capital Efficiency
pitchdeckcoach.com
"We're also very capital efficient.
We have 90% gross margins last year. We
raised 10 million dollars from
Andreessen Horowitz and First Round
Capital and we still have 9.5 million of
that still in the bank which give us
about three years of runway."
The story

Another simple slide with 3 big numbers. Rule of three.
Typical SaaS gross margins are in the 70-85% range, so
Rewind is outperforming it's SaaS peers.
The A16Z and First Round Capital name drops are nice. Top tier
VCs have already invested, presumably having done their due
diligence. More investor FOMO.
'3 years of runway' says Rewind does not need money right
now. They are in the driver's seat for this round. Investors will
need to offer a high valuation to get in on the deal.

Roadmap
pitchdeckcoach.com
"Our roadmap is very exciting. We've
shipped our Mac app and Ask Rewind
(guessing that's the AI search
interface) today. We're also focused on
meetings.
In the future we're going to ship an app
for Apple Glasses (which will launch
likely this summer at WWDC), iPhone, and
Windows. Eventually we'll get to
building cloud backup and sync in a very
safe and privacy sensitive way also
getting to Android and eventually to the
Enterprise."

A delightfully simple roadmap.
Rule of 3 twice in one slide — impressive!
3 timelines (Now, Soon, Later) with 3 major deliverables per
timeline.
Nice use of logos for visual interest and to streamline the slide.
I'm still wondering how privacy via local storage works across
multiple devices, but maybe that's where 'Cloud' comes in.

How to Invest
pitchdeckcoach.com
"If you're interested in investing please
visit rewind.ai/invest.
Thank you very much."
The story
•
•
The invest url (see next slide) states 'We don't have time to
meet with everyone so instead we're sharing our investor
presentation with the world.' It's a bold move that is likely to
drive a feeding frenzy of motivated investors.
This approach would not work for a first-time founder with no
MVP and/or no PMF. The strength of the story, coupled with
Dan's credentials, makes this bold approach possible.
