Facebook’s pitch deck was more of a media kit of sorts. It was containing the company’s value proposition, key metrics, and marketing services that were used to sell ads to potential clients.

Favorite takeaway: The focus of the startup pitch deck was based on solid numbers such as user engagement, traffic, and growth trajectory.
