- Seed round or pre-seed
- Valuation or term sheets
- "I need funding"
- Finding/approaching investors
- Preparing for investor meetings

Standard Deck (10-15 slides)
- Title - Hook + one-liner
- Problem - Specific pain, who has it
- Solution - How you solve it
- Product - Demo, screenshots
- Market - TAM/SAM/SOM
- Business Model - Unit economics
- Traction - Metrics, growth
- Competition - Why you win
- Team - Why you'll execute
- Ask - Amount, milestones
