♞ 8base Deck Breakdown

Hey Persuaders!

Today, I want to look at this Series A deck from 8base. It was used to raise $10.6M.

This is a very simple deck is one I’d highly recommend everyone save and use as a template if you ever need to quickly build your own deck. It is very straightforward and lends itself naturally to telling a compelling story.

Simple and straightforward opening slide.

A clear description of the of the problem with some social proof that the problem exists.

A one-sentence solution with details below in a graphic form. (This type of simple one-liner + info are great if you are building a deck for the first time, it makes it easy to read and understand without you worrying about omitting information)
