Duyk - Pitch Deck Guide

@eliana_jordan Human is still human.

“Apps are dead.” I don’t buy it. People still want tools to: → remember → stay motivated → track things → make better decisions Demand is still there.

@parkerworth B I cannot listen or watch anything with full focus and listening/watching doesn't help me think. I find my best ideas while reading. It is like a miracle for me.

Would you rather: A) Listen to a podcast Or B) Read a book

I added some long-form (very long) posts on pitchdeckguide .com. Let's see if it helps for traffic or not. #buildinpublic

❌ Weak problem slide: "The market is fragmented" ✅ Strong problem slide: "Finance teams at Series B companies spend 11 hours per week reconciling data across tools that cost $80K/year and still don't talk to each other." One is a situation. One is a problem. Investors fund solutions to problems.

@boardyai Maybe LPs will build their own AI VCs...

I feel like VC is going to look super different in the next 5 years

Launched "The" Pitch Deck Guide. There is some guides on pitch decks but none of them updated or comprehensive. I decided to cover everything related, include real VC insghts (I talk them), constantly update it and give 2 .md files to build your own guide chatbot and diagnosis engine. Check this 👉🏻 pitchdeckguide.com

Your startup probably doesn’t need more features. It needs more users. Drop url, let’s drive some traffic👇

31% of investors close your pitch deck in 10 seconds. Because your cover slide didn't answer the only question that matters in the first 5 seconds: "What does this company do and why should I keep reading?"

@LoganTGott GUIDE 🔥

R.I.P 2026 LinkedIn Algorithm. No more wondering what works. Most people right now are: Posting more Adding hashtags Dropping external links And wondering why impressions disappear. But something dramatically changed: LinkedIn stopped rewarding activity. It now rewards attention. Slow reading. Long comments. Posts people save. I studied 1,000s of LinkedIn posts from the past few weeks. The pattern was obvious: High dwell time = distribution. Low-effort content = invisible. So I turned the findings into one practical resource. A step-by-step LinkedIn growth guide built for the 2026 algorithm. Inside you'll find: → The 4-phase LinkedIn algorithm model explained simply → The hook structure that increases “see more” clicks → The post format generating the highest save rates → The comment strategy that multiplies reach → The content mix top creators use every week → The first-hour engagement protocol most people miss One founder applied this structure and their first post had over 100,000 impressions. If you want the full guide: 1️⃣ Follow me 2️⃣ Comment GUIDE I'll send it to you.

@noahkagan I guess it is because of algorithm. Nice reviews get 0 views. So...

Hot take - LinkedIn is for nice people. Not saying that's always best but the community here shocks me with how critical they are of... everything. Garry Tan makes some skills and instead of talking about it, people just bash it. Company launches some CMO AI thing - all posts I saw were shitting all over it. Meanwhile on LinkedIn the comments and replies are all surprisingly encouraging.

The pitch deck mistake nobody talks about: Designing for the read instead of the scan. Investors don't read pitch decks. They scan them. Cover → Problem → Team → everything else if you're lucky. Every slide title should communicate the conclusion. Not the topic.

The fastest way to fix your pitch deck: 1. Give it to someone who knows nothing about your business. 2. 60 seconds. No explanation from you. 3. Ask them to describe your business in one sentence. If they can't, your deck isn't ready. No investor will ask for clarification. They'll just close it.

@aliByteCode Cold DM with Lnkdn

honest question for founders who have launched: what actually got you your first user?

If everything can be automated with AI, what will humans do?

I get ~300 emails per day but I don't need anyone to think for me. Steal my system: -Have one garbage email -Have one business domain email with your name -Have one medium-level email 1. Subscribe newsletters, buying physical products or try tools -> Garbage email / Quickly scan every week, delete everything after you check 2. Main business communication -> business email / Check every day, respond every day 3. Tools you love, financials activities (Stripe etc), newsletter you actually read etc -> Medium-level email / Check every week
