It's interesting that the 6-slide pitch deck doesn't have a "team" slide. Maybe was it used in the idea phase?
PS: Thank you. I was looking for something like this.
You're welcome. You're correct the 6-slide pitch deck doesn't have a "team" slide. It's deliberate. This is because it's higher priority to focus on the product and customer; the concept is still touched on by slide 6 and the "teammates" item. The 6-slide pitch deck can take an hour or so for a first draft.
In practice I use the 6-slide as a first step, akin to a simple sketch, suitable mostly for internal discussion. Then I work with the founders to expand the 6-slide deck into the 12-slide, which gets sent to external people. The 12-slide pitch deck can take a week or so for the first few drafts.
this is great, thanks for posting

forked, thanks !
IMHO the Stripe notes and YC perspectives are especially useful when the pitch deck has a first draft. Founders and teams write the first draft faster (and better) when they use the notes above.
