Dangerous AI Is Here. You Have Been Warned
April 10, 2026
For years AI doomers have preached that this technology would do more harm than good and this week we got a glimpse of the new world they're warning about.
Today, we’re talking about including fancy animations and multimedia in your pitch deck.
My general advice is to avoid this, as it often takes quite a bit of extra work to create and embed media that will work correctly in your pitch deck and given you rarely control all the variables for the audience — internet speed, laptop quality, sound system etc — there’s a really good chance the exciting outcome you’re hoping for is replaced by a distracting and jittery experience. This does not leave a positive impression for the investor.
Instead, I would urge you to keep the deck very simple. You can send the videos of a demo or other animations separately, and have a much better chance of a good experience for the viewer and thus more interest in investing.
