“Analyzing Metafuels’ $8M Climate Tech Seed Pitch Deck”

Pitch Deck Teardown
There are some minor redactions, but the bulk of this slide deck is intact. In 2022, around 300 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel was produced, and that doubled this year to more than 600 million liters, per the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Let yourself nerd out about the techWhen you’re building a deep tech company, the tallest pole in the tent is always going to be the tech itself. Make it work, then make it work at small scale, then scale to production scale. In the rest of this teardown, we’ll take a look at three things Metafuels could have improved or done differently, along with its full pitch deck!
