Lunchclub raised $4m in seed funding using this pitch deck

ABOUT

Co-founded by Vladimir Novakovski and Scott Wu in 2017, Lunchclub is an AI-based one-on-one professional networking platform that matches and introduces people through video meetings. Hayley Leibson joined the company in 2018 as co-founder and COO.

On Lunchclub, users are matched based on their goals and professional aspirations, introduced to each other over an email, and given a suggestion for a time and place to grab lunch.

This is the deck it used to raise a US$4 million seed round in September 2019, which also happened to be its first round of funding, led by Andreessen Horowitz.

Prior to this, Lunchclub had raised a small amount of funding through friends and family.

How is the deck compelling?

• It has a simple look and a neat design.
• With the help of figures, it explains the issues that the startup wants to address.
• It uses simple words to explain how it works and provides user feedback along with statistics to show how effective its platform is.
• It also presents a roadmap of the company’s finance, hiring, and series A plans after receiving investment.
