The credentials aren’t for the entrepreneur to feel confident, they are for the investor to feel confident, no?

Last 5 years // last 2 credentials, whichever is fewer Before 5 years or more than 2 is not useful I skipped other credentials on our pitch deck, though unlike what the tweet says, I didn’t go with 0. Raising for a crypto company in a bear market and not saying I built for 4 years at CB would be kinda foolish

Positive signal if the background aligns with the pitch eg the key ingredient of the startup is underwriting risks well and the team has done it at Square etc. Never heard good investors turn down pitches just bc logos on the team slide. I bet he won’t too.

Disagree. Decks aren’t immune to social proofing, whether or not people are aware of their bias.

Stated vs. Revealed presences. Someone saying “I graduated from Harvard and did YC” will always garner extra consciously or subconsciously That said, if a deck is just logos, but the business proposition makes no sense, logos won’t help that much

I actually don't quite understand why people throw around where they went to college when they're no longer fresh graduates. We are adults, what you have successfully built is a stronger argument than an MBA from an Ivy League.

Hard agree. The right folks with the right stuff let their worl speak for itself. And investors and partners who need the social proof in order to back you are too easily impressed and influenced.

It’s true(ish). The best pitch decks have wild enough growth that nothing else in it matters to justify an investment. Those are exceedingly rare (most investors never see one).

A credential conveys a lot of information that is much harder to obtain without it. They're not everything, of course, and they could be misleading.
