Many of you have raised significantly more but I hope some of these tips help some pre-seed companies.

I totally agree that money raised is irrelevant. The hope was our journey can be useful to others.
The hard work is just beginning.

I think they would be more concerned if we didn't evolve. For example, Twitter isn't just an SMS service anymore

If you choose "Graphic Designer" as the role you're looking for, that should help.

No worries. It was meant to be a joke but I removed due to the downvotes

Your pitch deck will get you meetings, not investment. No one invests from only seeing a pitch deck.
From speaking with investors, we learned about better ways to get across what we are doing. What the key ares that interested investors, etc. Most of that we learned was from the actual conversation rather than specific feedback on the deck.
On a side note, the first version of this deck makes me slightly embarrassed. Even the "final" version does because the company has evolved since we closed our investment round.

We have mechanisms to stop Twine being a race to the bottom which I won't go into detail here.
I wanted to keep this is about the deck rather than our positioning and hope its helpful to someone.

You're totally right, a deck alone won't do anything. This opens to door to speak to someone.

Sure, but it's not that easy to just Google who are relevant VCs for your sector. Obviously the major firms always come up, but there are 100s literally.
The idea is to keep building this up over time too.

I’ve created a mega investment list from a number of sources. The guys at TechStars, Seedcamp and serialentreprenuers.co have all contributed with their own lists. I brought it together to make a megalist that will be more useful than AngelList, LinkedIn and CrunchBase (but you should use them too). I wanted a definite investor list for Europe and the rest of the world.
