just curious, but why aren’t more investors cool with founders sending YC apps instead of decks? (or are they?) like i’m writing both now, and i just find YC’s memo to be so much better at pulling out the important info. is it just length of time it takes to skim?

because they have a lot more pattern matching on a pitch deck making a good deck (content, not formatting) requires a high degree of clarity https://www.slideshare.net/PitchDeckCoach/sequoia-capital-pitchdecktemplate

don't listen to him matthew https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/powerpoint full paper here https://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/pi/2016_2017/phil/tufte-powerpoint.pdf. there's a reason some of the best and brightest have banned the use of decks within their organizations.
