ABOUT

• Year: 2016
• Raised: US$10 million
• Investors: Stewart Butterfield, Social Capital, Eoghan McCabe

Founded in 2013, Front’s platform aims to improve the way email works, turning the medium into a more collaborative, integrated means of communication for businesses. Since its launch, it’s raised US$138 million from investors like Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator.

Looking at its series A pitch deck, which netted Front US$10 million at the time, the company’s mission seems to have been apparent since its early days. It now serves over 5,500 businesses and has three offices – one in Paris and two in the US.

How is the deck compelling?

• The deck shows the company’s competitive positioning in the messaging solutions market.
• The company’s main customer segment and notable testimonials are displayed.
• It illustrates important figures that position the firm in a good light: its consistent organic growth through its monthly recurring revenue and low churn.
• Front’s growth plans were presented, showing that the company has been capital-efficient since the past year.
• The pitch traces the organization’s product roadmap and profit and loss projections for the coming year.
• Front clearly states its ask of US$10 million in series A funding and distinctively reveals the bigger opportunity it’s pursuing.
