Welcome to our<\/span> 40th Pitch Deck Teardown! Goodness, time flies.<\/p>\n

Of those 40, just three were angel rounds, so today, we\u2019ll take apart the angel deck of MiO Marketplace<\/a>, a platform for media publishers and buyers. The company raised $550,000 at a $3.6 million pre-money valuation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking for more unique pitch decks to tear down, so if you want to submit your own, here\u2019s how you can do that<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Slides in this deck<\/h2>\n

MiO Marketplace comes out of the gate hard and just keeps going. The deck didn\u2019t include all the important bits, however, and I wish the company had done a few things differently, but we\u2019ll get to that. For now, here are the 16 slides that make up its angel deck:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cover slide<\/li>\n
  2. History slide (\u201cEvolution of online marketplaces\u201d)<\/li>\n
  3. Vision and mission slide<\/li>\n
  4. Problem slide<\/li>\n
  5. Solution slide<\/li>\n
  6. Opportunity slide<\/li>\n
  7. Market-size slide<\/li>\n
  8. Competition slide (\u201cB2B SaaS for Media Buyers\/Sellers\u201d)<\/li>\n
  9. Value proposition slide 1 (\u201cFeatures for buyers\u201d)<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0 Value proposition slide 2 (\u201cIntelligence for sellers\u201d)<\/li>\n
  11. \u00a0Business model slide (labeled as \u201cGo-to-market\u201d)<\/li>\n
  12. \u00a0Traction slide<\/li>\n
  13. \u00a0Financial slide (labeled as \u201cProjections\u201d)<\/li>\n
  14. \u00a0Team slide (\u201cFounder\u201d)<\/li>\n
  15. \u00a0Board of directors slide<\/li>\n
  16. \u00a0Contact slide<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Three things to love<\/h2>\n

    MiO nails its pitch in a few really important parts, which is ever so delightful. Its team slide focuses on all the right things, it does a good job explaining its value prop and including the company\u2019s mission helps solidify how it views the landscape.<\/p>\n

    Really promising team slide<\/h3>\n
    \"\"<\/p>\n

    At the earliest stages of a new business, investors don\u2019t have a lot to go on: There\u2019s not much of a product yet, there isn\u2019t much traction \u2014 there\u2019s really not much of anything. So, how do you evaluate an early-stage company? You look at things<\/a> like whether there\u2019s a big enough market, problem and opportunity for return, but most importantly, you have to consider whether this is the right team to bring this product to market. On paper, CEO and founder Sean Halter is a good bet. He claims to have decades of experience and appears to have deep market understanding. Those are all useful. So what does a VC do next? A bit of light due diligence to see if what\u2019s on the slide matches up.\t\t\t<\/div>\n
