You nailed the problem with those delightful playground cartoons, but your solution slide looks like the same playground after a high-CISO-budget intervention. It needs to feel less like a municipal park and more like a rocket ship.

Your market size slide is a crystal ball gazing into 2030, which is great for a sci-fi novel, but I'm investing today. Show me how you're capturing $50B in 'governed workflows' now, not in seven years when AI might be self-aware and not need governance.

Your $24K+ ACV sounds ambitious for a 'pre-seed launch' in March '26. Are you selling futures contracts on your future product? 'Land & expand' is great, but you need to actually land something substantial first, not just a few beta pilots.

Your team is a roster of security all-stars, which is great; it's the only thing keeping this deck from being thrown straight into the recycle bin. Just make sure your product matches their LinkedIn credentials.

Your 'traction' sounds like a very polite wishlist, and 'active strategic conversations' don't pay the bills. If you're raising pre-seed for a product launching in March 2026, you're not just early, you're in a time machine. Are you sure you didn't mean 2025?

Those problem/solution cartoons are fantastic, but then you slap on a Blockbuster meme? And is 'March 2026' a typo or are you actually asking for money two years before your pre-seed launch? That's not just unclear; it's practically a sci-fi plot twist.
