A couple of lines I would change.

  slide 5 "added users from beta list when we needed lab rats"
  slide 10 "need business model to make sausage machine work."
  slide 19 "Journalists are lazy. Help them be lazy."

try

   added beta users as we could absorb their feedback
   <delete>
   journalists are busy, help them hit deadlines

I don't think it's useful to label journalists as lazy or beta users as lab rats. I am not trying to be politically correct: I think these terms can introduce an unconscious framing that's harmful, and these are not labels members of these groups would adopt for themselves.
