I read seed decks like an FDD reviewer, not a designer — so founders raise the round, not polish slides.Swastik Chaturvedi

“I read pitch decks the way two people in the room actually do — the investor deciding whether to write the check, and the financial-due-diligence reviewer who will tear the numbers apart in the next round if you raise this one.”

Track record
Proof points.
Founders arrive thinking they have a story problem. Most of the time it's a numbers problem — and the numbers problem is what an investor sees first.
I read a deck as one set of numbers told eleven ways — traction, model, and financials must reconcile the way a P&L ties.
Unit economics that look fatal trigger personal review before any deliverable ships — not a hidden Red score.
The four checks I run on a pitch deck are the same four checks a Series A diligence team will run on the company 12–18 months later — that's what makes the diagnosis predictive, not stylistic.
Founder data is treated like a buy-side diligence data room: least access, 30-day purge, no secondary use, no third-party sharing. The same standard PE buyers expect from their advisors.
