Today, we will look at a Series B deck from Minna used to raise $18.9M.
Since this is a Series B deck, I’m less concerned about the opening slide; most VCs likely would know about a company at this stage before the meeting/outreach, but a strong one-liner aimed at investors and not a marketing slogan would still improve this slide.
Great perspective framer, with a clear visual to reinforce the market/social change which is presenting a problem/opportunity for the company to capitalize/solve.
Hire full-time, offshore talent for $3000/mo. They have impossible resumes:
Amira: Fordham University grad, ex-JPMorgan
Ashan: Western Sydney University grad, ex-RedBlocks Technologies
Anika: Kenyon College grad, ex-Moody’s
From a strong perspective framer into a clear and unique problem slide. The only criticism here would be that it can be challenging to read the “problems” with this design but it seems to be purposeful to communicate the stress/complexity arising.
This type of statement generally needs to be backed by evidence; given it's a Series B company, they can get away with this since they have sales/traction, etc. But as a pre-seed/seed company, you can’t do this.

Their local teams analyze your requirements and present you with top candidates, ensuring a strong workforce for your community. Experience the Express advantage and start building a stronger, sustainable workforce today.
This educational slide was well done but likely wasn’t needed. I’d guess that it is a talking slide where the founder has a chance to explain how they capture the market of people looking to cancel or needing to improve/identify their subscriptions.
This is a powerful slide because it shows where they feel their company fits into the wider financial ecosystem and how that relates to their customers and other market players.
Simple and traditional team slide.
This is a great final slide. Marketing slogans are fine here, and your aim is to inspire action from an investor who is already interested. So this can get them to email you or engage with you.
