Two business operations skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

Investor Pitch Deck

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Build a fundraising deck with the right story arc, slide structure, and investor-grade logic.

Email Best Practices

By Resend

Build reliable, compliant email features that reach inboxes, not spam folders.

What each one does

Investor Pitch Deck

  • Generates a complete slide-by-slide structure tailored to your fundraising stage and ask
  • Explains what each slide must prove to an investor and how to avoid common mistakes
  • Focuses on investor-grade logic — retention over signups, unit economics over projections
  • Provides narrative principles that prioritize evidence and traction in the first five slides
  • Includes quality checks to ensure your deck answers real investor questions

Email Best Practices

  • Guides you through setting up email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) to prevent emails from going to spam
  • Explains how to build compliant email capture forms with proper consent and double opt-in
  • Provides a catalog of common transactional emails (password resets, confirmations, receipts) your app might need
  • Helps you understand legal requirements for marketing emails (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CASL)
  • Shows you how to handle bounces, complaints, and maintain clean email lists
