3 slides I used to raise $120k for my start-up

This was some years ago. The start-up is no longer around — it failed. Not only had I lost the investors’ $120K from that initial raise, but another million bucks that I went on to raise subsequently.

Why the business failed, I will write separately (maybe!).

The initial working name (Fuzeclass) for the start-up was different from the one we actually adopted so I’ll keep the original one — you can see from the screenshots of the slides.
