Hi tmpz22,

The slides are from decks that are publicly available on Slideshare.

The data (company name, year, funding stage, slide category...) is manually added by me with a lot of Google search.

The download includes 67 decks which corresponds to 1,210 slides.

It is true that in the download email, I also announce my next product, which is also free and also for entrepreneurs. So this seems fair to me - but happy to reconsider my position on that.

1,200 slide decks =/= 1,200 slides

Ya I was just a little confused by the title "1,200 slide decks by category...". Its perfectly fair to promote your product while providing a free service, but it does raise a mental flag of "if the goal is to promote product A, how valuable is token service B?". Regardless it's good to know these slides exist and reviewing them will help a lot of people (though I pray people skip the Theranos one as something that will influence their own companies).

I just realized I did make a mistake in the title of the HN post. My apologies. It should read "startups slides" not "slide deck". You are correct.

I cannot edit the title, apparently. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to mislead anyone. It's an honest typo :/

Why? You are providing a free service, you are completely at liberty to promote anything along with it.

Don't let anyone guilt you out of that.

Great job and keep at it!
