    Slide-by-slide weaknesses

    What every slide actually scores on, the way an investor partner reads it.

    Problem (slide 2)
    Quantified the cost of the status quo with two independent data points. Investor-grade framing.
    Market (slide 4)
    TAM is bottom-up but the SAM/SOM split jumps an order of magnitude with no walkthrough. Investors will ask, lose 30 seconds of trust.
    Traction (slide 7)
    Cohort retention curves with month-by-month annotations. Best slide in the deck.
    Business model (slide 8)
    ACV and CAC are stated, but payback period is missing. Series A reviewers expect payback < 18 months explicitly.
    Team (slide 11)
    Founder bios are credible, but no statement of why this team uniquely wins this market.
    Ask (slide 13)
    Round size and use-of-funds present, but milestones the round buys are vague. Tie each $ bucket to a specific 18-month outcome.

    Rewrite priorities

    Highest-leverage edits, ranked. Ship these first.

    1. 1

      Rewrite slide 4 with a defensible SAM derivation: top-down anchor, bottom-up build, and the bridge between them in one chart.

    2. 2

      Add a payback-period line to slide 8 alongside ACV and CAC. Investors index on it.

    3. 3

      Restructure slide 13 to map each $ bucket of the round to a specific named milestone (revenue, hires, product, geography).

    4. 4

      Add a one-line founder-market-fit statement at the bottom of slide 11.
