You don’t need a polished deck. You need clarity. The fastest way to get a clear answer is to include the essentials:

1) The problem and who it affects

2) What you’re building (the MVP, not the end-state)

3) Current evidence (data, prototype, prior work)

4) The validation path (what proves it works)

5) What you need most (infrastructure / capital / execution)

6) The team (who is doing the work and why you’re the right group)

If you have a deck, include a link. If you don’t, a short write‑up is fine.
