http://invest.fangible.com<p>Hi guys, today we put up an online version of our pitch deck and I wanted to get some feedback from those in the know.<p>This is the first pitch deck I've created and I was actually surprised how challenging it was to try and get everything across as needed. Our financing section is a little weak since this is geared towards seed funding rather than a Series A.<p>Anyway, I'd appreciate any useful or constructive feedback. Thanks!<p>http://invest.fangible.com
The deck is visually good. The kiss fan club anecdote is great.<p>The following conclusions I drew from the deck are probably false, but I convey them because most investors skim through once with a skeptical eye and could reach similar conclusions.<p>- The first time through the deck I thought you'd already built the product, so I was looking for the adoption ramp.<p>- When I finally figured out that you haven't built it, I looked at the timeline and cant tell whether the two of you talking is the only event to take place before raising the seed.<p>- Then I looked at your bios, and thought that you guys must not have jobs right now which is the real reason for needing a seed.<p>I don't mean to be negative, I'm just telling you what went through my mind as I read it.<p>One last note: "advertising reach" is the wrong term to use because it couldn't be 23B without some mad hyperspace technology and the existence of alien empires. I spent years working with ad guys and they get bent out of shape when terms get used loosely.<p>I say, just build it. You didn't starve in the past 6 months so you're unlikely to starve in the next 6 months. You may be able to build it more easily than raise money.
Paid online "fan clubs" + Sexy Lady + Playboy quote = self-serve porn hosting.<p>If that's your plan you will probably have to rely on bootstrapping or non-startup investors. VCs don't invest in porn or largely porn-related businesses generally.<p>And if that's not your plan I would generally think the idea is unlikely to work. Paid non-porn fan clubs seems like an exceedingly small niche (in the US). I doubt I know anyone who has a paid subscription to anything like this.
