Wrapping up the week with great advice from Saba Karim - don't email people asking if you can send them the deck, just send them the deck. That's the purpose of it. Send it!

The point of your pitch deck isn't to get an investment. The point is to get a meeting. 

It's just like when you're job hunting. The point of a resume isn't to get the job. The point of the resume is  to get the interview.  The pitch deck is serving the same purpose.
