I invented a startup called Good Neighbors so I could build a deck from scratch and share all the steps I took. These were part of my Teardown Fridays posts. Now you can download the complete slide deck and follow my thought process in one place.

This is a companion to my 12-part series: How to Create a Better Pitch Deck.

Included are the 12 core slides plus 8 alternate versions I did not use (I explain why in the notes).

Before you ask, I’m not claiming this is a hot VC-fundable startup or even that this is the absolute best way to pitch it. My goal was to show, in detail, one way to do it and to share the detailed thought process behind it. There are not many resources that do this unfortunately.

I chose an early stage startup because of the unique challenges of balancing the dream and reality.
