the 10/20/30 rule for pitch decks: 10 slides, 20 minutes, 30pt font. keep it simple, readable, and sharp. investors should get it without squinting.

for founders, it also flips the perspective: focus obsessively on the 20% of your product/customers that will drive growth. ignore the rest until it matters.

the 80/20 rule in vc: 80% of returns come from 20% of investments. it’s brutal but true. founders, the rare big winners are the ones that matter.
