In plain English

This repository is a curated index of 754 real startup pitch decks, covering companies from Airbnb and Uber to Figma, YouTube, and Replit. The decks span 2004 to 2024 and include every funding stage from pre-seed through Series E. The repository does not host any PDF files itself. All decks are stored in a linked Google Drive folder, and the repo provides an index and direct links to each one. The collection is organized two ways. The README features a hand-picked top-30 list of decks the author considers most instructive for founders: Airbnb's 2008 pre-seed slides, Dropbox's 2007 pitch, Facebook's 2004 materials, Figma's seed deck, and similar historically significant examples from companies that later became household names. The complete set of all 754 decks is indexed in a CSV file (deck_index.csv) listing company name, year, and funding round, which can be sorted and filtered locally. The author is a former venture capital investor now running a bootstrapped startup. The stated goal is to make fundraising materials accessible to founders who want to study how successful companies explained their ideas to investors, and to see how the presentation style changed across different stages and eras. The repository contains only links and index metadata. No PDF files are stored here. The pitch decks remain hosted externally and belong to their respective companies. The project treats this as an educational reference and accepts contributions: if you find a publicly available deck that is missing from the collection, you can open a pull request or issue with a link to the source.
