The exact checklist I use to review founder decks before they raise, plus the AI-generated red flags that make investors close the deck in 10 seconds.

Why most decks fail
It's rarely the idea. It's a bloated slide count, a buried ask, and a narrative that doesn't match the traction, or an obviously AI-written deck that reads like every other AI-written deck investors saw this week.

Inside the checklist:

• The 10-12 slide structure investors actually expect (and the order that keeps their attention)

• The exact AI-generated tells that get decks instantly deprioritized: language patterns, generic frameworks, and design giveaways

• What to fix on your weakest slides before you send anything out

• A slide-by-slide gut check you can run in under 15 minutes
