When raising capital, one of the most common questions is, “Do you have a pitch deck you can share?” Today, I will explain how to create a good pitch deck from scratch and provide a template to help you get started.

andy tang @AndytangTalent is uniformly distributed in society. Opportunities are not. America's Startup is one way we're doing our part about it. A warm welcome to the new @America250 Investor Council members: @CathieDWood, @PratherARK, @christine_tsai, @skg_accel, @billreichert, @SungerBiggs, @BiedermanRob, @Robert_Katz and others. We're all inspired by @RosieRios's original vision: support our nation's youth and democratize entrepreneurship in America. I judged round one... those teams weren't waiting for permission to build. They were already building. Round two: over $1M in cash and prizes, up to $50K non-dilutive per team, finale in DC this December. Undergrad founders: applications close Thursday, Oct 8, 7:59pm EDT. Link in first reply. We're here to help founders fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams. Your part is to apply :)
Muse @Musecharmed to meet you!

Karan Kunjur @KaranKunjurOur biggest round yet: @K2SpaceCo has raised a $500M Series D at a $6.8B post-money valuation. The round was led by @kleinerperkins and @ICONIQCapital, with participation from @CapitalG, @lightspeedvp, @AltimeterCap, @sparkcapital, Sands Capital, @ARKInvest, @TRowePrice, and other existing investors. "Scaling” is probably the word I’ve used most often the past few months in conversations with our investors, customers, and employees when talking about what’s next for K2 Space in 2027 and beyond: --We’re going to continue to scale up mass production, to deliver against the $1B + in contracts we’ve won to-date. --We’re going to scale up the satellite itself, from the 20kW Mega to the 100kW class Giga. Its no longer just 100kW, but we’ll save that update for another day. The capital from the Series D will turbocharge this scaling. Thanks to everyone who has been on this journey with us for the last four years – let's keep building bigger.

Chase Prather @PratherARKI’m excited to share that I’ve joined @KauffmanFellows When I first started my career in venture capital, I was drawn to the opportunity to partner with founders who are building the future. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible founders, investors, mentors, and colleagues who have shaped how I think about innovation, leadership, and long-term value creation. I'm honored to represent @ARKInvest in KF Class 31 I look forward to learning alongside an exceptional group of investors from around the world, expanding my perspective, and building relationships that will help me become a better investor, leader, and, most importantly, a better version of myself.
