VCs never read decks—they scan slide titles for two seconds each
vaibhavbetter · x · 2026-09-04
Quoting a VC-circuit take: "VCs never read decks." They read the title of every slide, giving each page about two seconds. If your slide says "Market" instead of "We're after an $80B market," you've wasted your only shot. Actionable takeaway for founders: put the full conclusion in every slide title, don't count on anyone reading the body.
