From today's "pod" files

Today's Equity is catching you up on stocks around the world. The team also covered how Instacart and Klaviyo are bringing tech IPOs back, and Didi selling part of its business to Xpeng.

Never express your 'use of funds' slide as percentages

Building a pitch deck is like four-dimensional chess: Founders should present a convincing narrative that will carry the company from one fundraising round into the next.

Some teams like to share slides that explain how they plan to allocate investor funds, but Haje Jan Kamps says percentage breakdowns are a “red flag” to potential investors.

“How much tech do you need to have developed? How many customers and how much revenue do you need? What staff do you need to develop that tech, sell to those customers, and support them? . . . In other words: You're raising for milestones, not for percentages or runway.”
