♞ Agora Deck Breakdown

Hey Persuaders!

In partnership with

Today, we are going to look at this seed deck from Agora used to raise $6M.

I would have preferred an opening slide that gives me a chance to understand what the company does but this might be a mission statement that speaks to a specific type of investor they are targeting.

Great perspective framer here to give investors the big picture and create the framework within which the rest of the deck can be interpreted.

Copper is up 70%

Discover the Zonia Advantage

World Copper’s (OTC: WCUFF | TSX.V: WCU) Zonia project is leading the industry in next-generation copper production, and is poised to meet surging global copper demand. By leveraging simple metallurgy and proven SX-EW processing in a prime location, Zonia stands to achieve cash flow up to 4x faster than typical projects.

World Copper is one of the very few projects that can start producing before the end of this decade, just in time to capture the upcoming copper price surge.

Early team slide in a seed deck isn’t very common but they seem to have a strong team and complemented it with some social proof.

This deck is really pushing a vitamin, not a painkiller, so the focus is on the potential and upside more than the problem, which is a unique type of deck that isn’t right for most people.

Using a roadmap like this is something that should be exclusively for companies that aren’t pitching an immediate problem they are solving. All other companies should pitch a short-term goal (to get you to your next round) and a long-term goal (what it will look like when you get to your big vision). Roadmaping your way to the long-term goal is something you can only do if you don’t have that shorter term problem to solve.
