This!! “The first meeting is not to get money. It is to get a second meeting.”
Your pitch deck should contain enough info to get the VCs curious, but not enough that they switch to "analysis" mode. Otherwise, they will find objections and you won't get a call. A deck is a MARKETING MATERIAL, not a business plan.
