- ♞ Aeris Deck Breakdown
In partnership with
Today, we will look at a seed deck from Aeris used to raise $3.3M.
This is a good opening slide. The one-liner is more of a marketing phrase than an investor one-liner, but otherwise, the design is nice.
Starting with traction is a good strategy, especially if you are going to be doing a longer pitch. This immediately tells investors why they should devote their time/energy to hearing your pitch. If you aren’t very confident in your pitching skills then I’d always recommend that you start with some big attractive traction figures to get investors hooked.
Apple's New Smart Display Confirms What This Startup Knew All Along
Apple has entered the smart home race with its new Smart Display, firing a $158B signal that connected homes are the future.
When Apple moves in, it doesn’t just join the market — it transforms it.
One company has been quietly preparing for this moment.
Their smart shade technology already works across every major platform, perfectly positioned to capture the wave of new consumers Apple will bring.
While others scramble to catch up, this startup is already shifting production from China to its new facility in the Philippines — built for speed and ready to meet surging demand as Apple’s marketing machine drives mass adoption.
With 200% year-over-year growth and distribution in over 120 Best Buy locations, this company isn’t just ready for Apple’s push — they’re set to thrive from it.
Shares in this tech company are open at just $1.90.
Apple’s move is accelerating the entire sector. Don’t miss this window.

This slide mixes the “why now”, “perspective framer” and traditional “opportunity” slides. Overall, it’s very persuasive in convincing investors that this is an industry that is worth investing in. This is especially important with a product/industry like this that can be boring to most.
This is the equivalent of their solution/product slide that shows what the company offers. It would be more impactful with just three points, but overall, it is clear and communicates the value proposition.
Having a clear customer acquisition strategy can be key to getting investors to believe that you can reach the people who are going to be purchasing your goods/services.
This is a good slide for social proof and traction.
