Public reference deck profiles for training deck analysis, funding outcomes, investor signals, reusable slide patterns, and founder-facing deck feedback logic. Reference decks are admin-uploaded only; founder pitch decks are private review inputs and do not become public benchmarks.
Private Founder Pitch Decks vs Public Reference Decks
The product has two separate deck objects. Founder pitch decks are uploaded privately for scoring and feedback. Public reference decks are curated by admins, researched, and scored for benchmark usefulness.
Founder Pitch Deck
Reviewed for investor readiness: clarity, evidence, narrative, traction, GTM, business model, risk, and ask.
Public Reference Deck
Reviewed for reference value: later fundraising, current status, headcount trend, strong slides, weak claims, and reusable patterns.
Library Curation
Only admins can add or publish reference decks. Public profiles should never be created from a founder's private upload by default.
Operating And Headcount Signals
Every profile now has a status area. Green profiles have current operating/headcount evidence. Yellow profiles are deck-ingested but still need public-source verification before we mark active, acquired, shut down, pivoted, or growing.
Caraway
Active commerce footprint, current hiring, LinkedIn 51-200, LeadIQ ~136, and 35+ person marketing org signal.
Brightland
Active site and retail expansion. Modern Retail reported staff grew from three or four to 16; LinkedIn lists 11-50.
Sourse
Active site and later funding/retail proof. LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and PitchBook snippets conflict on exact headcount.
Italic
Active site, current home-focused repositioning, LinkedIn 51-200 / 72 discoverable employees, and $50M+ publicly disclosed funding.
Dreamship
Active POD platform with live pricing, products, June 2026 company activity, LinkedIn 11-50 / 25 discoverable employees, and conflicting funding records.
Stryx
Foundry acquired Stryx in 2023; official store and Target listing remain active, while independent headcount is small and no longer a clean growth metric.
Yumi
Active kids nutrition brand with $67M Series B validation, 12,000+ retail-door claim, about 66-67 employees, and a 2024 valuation-reset report.
SupportPay
Active family-finance platform with current app/site footprint, LinkedIn 11-50 / 10 discoverable employees, and a $3.1M post-deck round.
GRIN
Active creator-management platform with 2025/2026 product launches, about 113 public employees in 2026, and a $110M Series B outcome.
TRILL
Historical streetwear marketplace with XRC-backed pre-seed and early TechCrunch/Glossy traction, but no verified active marketplace, 3 LinkedIn-visible employees, and Trustpilot risk.
JuneShine
Active multi-brand beverage platform with 123 LinkedIn-visible employees, current roles, $24M Series B outcome, Flying Embers acquisition, and 2026 production-transition caution.
Players' Lounge
Active real-money gaming platform with 49 LinkedIn-visible employees, YC active founders, later Series A evidence, and high withdrawal/account-lock complaint risk.
Cleancult
Active low-waste cleaning brand with Target, Costco, Whole Foods, Walmart, and Amazon signals, later $25M Series B plus $5M extension evidence, and mixed 11-50 / 37-person headcount signals.
Monet
Archived Gen Z doodle-based dating app active Oct 2020-Dec 2022; raised $500K pre-seed, made 350K+ matches / 800K drawings, then shut down. Strong cautionary consumer-social benchmark.
Terra Kaffe
Active connected coffee hardware brand with TK-02, Demi, accessory expansion, LinkedIn 11-50 / 30 visible employees, and public $4M Seed Lab plus 2025 debt evidence.
Jia
Active field-operations SaaS with live site, app listings, 2024 procurement evidence, and 2025/2026 industry sponsorships; no public later funding round found yet.
Evergreen Jobs
TechCrunch described Evergreen as a stealth jobs platform for the unemployed in 2020; SEC Form D filings show 2020 and 2021 equity financing; the old portal does not return a clean live response in this pass.
Oxygen
Oxygen raised a $20M Series B in February 2023, but in March 2024 public reporting and the official site indicated banking services were suspended or unavailable while the company pursued new initiatives.
PAKT
Coverager marks PAKT inactive; LinkedIn lists the company as small with a Seed round dated March 18, 2021; founder public profile says PAKT ran from February 2020 to January 2025 and raised $2.5M.
TradeUp / Fynn
Y Combinator marks Fynn active with team size 26; TechCrunch and AlleyWatch reported an $11M seed plus $25M debt facility in 2023; PRWeb reported 270 programs and more than $14M in assistance by August 2023.
FoodieKid
FoodieKid's official site and founder LinkedIn post say the company shuttered after more than four years, despite selling more than a quarter million meals in 200+ stores; KingsCrowd and SEC filings show a 2021 Wefunder SAFE round with $119,400 raised against a $6M valuation cap.

FoodieKid is useful for baby-food problem framing, founder-market fit, retail traction, frozen-category positioning, and Reg CF financing analysis, but should not be used as a positive benchmark because the company later shut down.
