- ♞ Knak Deck Breakdown
In partnership with
Today, we will look at a Series A deck from Knack used to raise $25M.
Simple opening slide, could have more information but this isn’t a major issue.
Great perspective framer; this slide makes it so that anyone can appreciate the problem/solution. Without this slide those without a marketing background might not appreciate the product that is being built.
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.

It’s missing a clear problem slide that should have come after the perspective framer to really nail home the specific pain point and how it is being solved. Ignoring that this is a decent product/solution slide.
This is a wasted slide it doesn’t provide any information at all.
This is a “talking slide” but it doesn’t need to be there, this should be mixed into real content that drives forward a story.
This slide should have come right after the product/solution to show why they are unique. It’s really a Why Now? type slide.
With the strength of this team, I would have placed the team slide earlier in the deck. This is the real selling point so far.
