If you want to raise venture capital funding, you should be able to tell a compelling story to get anywhere. What’s more, according to conventional wisdom, your story should be supported by a pitch-perfect deck, too. How many slides a deck needs and what order they should be in is up for debate, but the deck itself is non-negotiable.

That said, there are, in fact, people out there raising lots of capital without employing a deck at all. I was really intrigued to speak to two of them and learn how they did it.
