Hey startups ๐ when an investor says โSend me your deckโ you need an amazing send-it-on* deck...
๐ค But what is the investor looking for, and why?
๐ค And what are some rules that will help you make a send-it-on deck that gets your foot in the door?

BREAKING: Part of a building facade collapsed during construction in Manhattan on Monday, prompting street closures and evacuations. No injuries were reported, and the incident is under investigation.
I remember lying on a beach in California about 4 days into my first trip to America, and five 30-somethings were batting a volleyball around. I can't remember the exact wording, but it was something like:
"I'm really no good at volleyball."
"Ohmigod, Shauna. You're great!"
"Thanks Bryce! Appreciate you!"
"Brad, that's awesome!"
"Yay, this is fun!"
When this went on for five minutes and nobody had called someone a useless cunt or tried to smash the ball into their best mate's face, I realised there really is a vast gulf between our cultures.
spend one single day not looking at a screen. i know this is easier said than done but just for one day do literally anything else. read a physical book. go for a walk in the park. do jumping jacks in your room. stare at the wall. listen to an album from your teenage years
there is a reason you are distracting yourself and if you stop for a day you will find out what it is. for this encounter you must cultivate courage. there is an ocean to cross, there is a dragon to face. we tell stories about heroes for a reason and as silly as it sounds, for you right now, this is that reason. the forces arrayed against you are mighty but help is available should you seek it. good luck and may god be with you
@irish_eagle ah, sorry, yes, it's an extremely American phenomenon. If you said to someone here, "Can't wait to watch the IMNT" you would indeed be met with a blank face, or, a "would you ever fuck off ๐คฃ"
