Good morning, folks are Good afternoon, I guess we're on day three cruising into the end of disrupt here. And it's time for one of the most popular panels we host every year something that we call pitch deck tear down. In this session, we're going to actually look at a couple of pitch decks submitted by founders in the audience, to actually get critiqued by VCs. Those VCs, as you heard from pre recorded Alex are are Maren Bannon, Vanessa, and Ben. And we're going to start at the start here with a company called sniffy, which is the first step we had submitted online from the audience. And this is what's called a personal dog trainer in your pocket. So I just want to start, before we even start going to the rest of the slides. What are you looking for in a title slide? And does this sniffy slide fit that?

For me, it does. I mean, I think it tells me in one line when I'm about to read so very quickly. It sounds like an interesting concept that is aligned with a lot of trends we're seeing in other verticals, and I thought the imagery was was pretty great. And I always appreciate when they include the date. You like the date, I like the date, I actually do. And it helps give it context, especially if we're a few weeks down the line, or they send an update, it helps us with some of the version control on our end.

the the imagery is really good, the branding is good, the font is good. The date thing that ministers pointing out is actually somewhat important. So if you have a date, that was June 10 2021, that's a problem. So that's, that's the key thing on the date that don't have a sale date, that's four months old on your pitch deck.

And then we're gonna go on to a second slide here. So So giving you some top line numbers. Let's take a look at this two, 3 million dogs there have been 700,000 are euthanized. That's a very positive number 43% were banned because of behavioral issues. Is this a good way to create a narrative for a startup?

Speaker 2

I think so sorry. I don't mean to jump in for Sony. But I think this is great. Again, the imagery is fantastic. I like the text being off to the side and not covering eyes. Think when you have texts that cover eyes, it's actually very hard to figure out what you need to look for your instinct is to look into eyes. And so I like it being on the side and the right contrast. And I think they're doing a good job setting up the problem space and in conjunction with the size of the opportunities there starts teasing into market size and problem.
