This is what you should be distributing anyways. The first is the investor memo, and it should go out before the pitch. Then you take your deck and go in person for the pitch. Then people will have Q&A time, get to know the company at a more personal level, and not spend their time there reading.
Downvote me if you must but to me this totally falls into the “startup porn” category of news. Im genuinely excited more companies are working on these problems, but this isnt a pattern you can necessarily repeat.
