♞ Rasgo Deck Breakdown

Hey Persuaders!

In partnership with

Today, we will look at a Series A deck from Rasgo used to raise $20M.

This is a solid first slide. I don’t love the one-liner. It doesn’t tell me what the company does. It is the type of marketing phrase that does better with customers than investors.

This is an incredible slide. It shows what the team has accomplished in each of its major areas. This is vital for showing investors that you are already moving towards your ultimate goal.

This smart home company grew 200%…

No, it’s not Ring or Nest—it’s RYSE, a leader in smart shade automation, and you can invest for just $1.90 per share.

RYSE’s innovative SmartShades have already transformed how people control their window coverings, bringing automation to homes without the need for expensive replacements.

This year alone, RYSE has seen revenue grow by 200% year over year and expanded into 127 Best Buy stores, with international markets on the horizon. Plus, with partnerships with major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s already in the works, they’re just getting started.

Now is your chance to invest in the company disrupting home automation—before they hit their next phase of explosive growth. But don’t wait; this opportunity won’t last long.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Email may contain forward-looking statements. See US Offering for details. Informational purposes only.

This is a weirdly placed educational slide, but it is vital for contextualizing the rest of the deck. If you are going to have an educational slide, then it would be ideal to design it for someone with a lower level of knowledge.

This is the clear problem slide that this slide needed. It works incredibly well, leveraging the rule of threes to show what specifically Data Scientists are struggling with and what the company can support their target market with.

This is a clear and direct “solution” slide showing how they can solve the problems mentioned in the slide above. This is overall a great deck for this stage that has the big problem and the solution.

Diving into the product in-depth here makes sense, it allows investors to understand the business. This might also be a great place to add a demo as the story has largely been told. This is a great deck.
