interestingly, we intentionally didn't show a graph, nor did we actually say any of our numbers when we presented yesterday. Our goal was to tell a story about why what we were doing mattered and I think that resonated really well with investors. Not sure if our presentation works for everyone else, but I do believe being a bit different was immensely valuable.



I really enjoyed your presentation for that reason - you did a great job of building a narrative that wasn't exactly "We're X for Y in a $Z billion market". I did consider your HN vote count and Kickstarter numbers similar to an "up and to the right" graph, but is your distinction that you only displayed them, and didn't weave them into the pitch?
