02 / Deck Architecture

8 modules. Every slide
rebuilt from first principles.

Hover any module to see the transformation. This is the architecture VCs at Sequoia, a16z, and Bessemer expect.

Slide 01Generic

Problem Frame

“"Publishers are leaving money on the table"”

⚠ No quantification, no adtech specificity

Slide 01 — RebuiltInstitutional

Problem Frame

$4.2B bid-stream waste annually — 34% from latency alone

✓ VC-grade TAM entry with primary data

Slide 02Feature List

Solution Architecture

“Bullet points of product capabilities”

⚠ No moat articulation, no technical differentiation

Slide 02 — RebuiltMoat Map

Solution Architecture

SSP throughput diagram showing 4.2M req/s at 12ms p99

✓ Technical proof that survives due diligence

Slide 03Top-Down Only

Market Sizing

“"Programmatic ad market: $700B"”

⚠ No serviceable market segmentation

Slide 03 — RebuiltBottoms-Up + Top-Down

Market Sizing

SOM: 14,000 mid-market publishers × $180K ACV

✓ $2.5B SOM with defensible math

Slide 04Vanity Metrics

Traction Proof

“"50+ enterprise customers, 99% uptime"”

⚠ No revenue trajectory or NRR signal

Slide 04 — RebuiltRevenue Velocity

Traction Proof

$2.1M ARR, 180% NRR, 3 logo names + fill-rate delta proof

✓ Compounding growth story with adtech benchmarks

Slide 05Magic Quadrant Knockoff

Competitive Landscape

“Self-positioned in top-right with no methodology”

⚠ VCs recognize the template — credibility destroyed

Slide 05 — RebuiltProprietary Quadrant

Competitive Landscape

SSP throughput vs. fill-rate delta with primary latency data

✓ Defensible axes that competitors can't dispute

Slide 06Vague

Revenue Model

“"Revenue share + SaaS subscription"”

⚠ CFO cannot model returns

Slide 06 — RebuiltAuditable

Revenue Model

CPM margin waterfall with holding-co benchmark overlay

✓ Finance team can greenlight without follow-up call

Slide 07Bio Dump

Team Slide

“LinkedIn summaries and logos of past employers”

⚠ Doesn't answer why this team wins in adtech

Slide 07 — RebuiltWhy-Now-Why-Us

Team Slide

Unfair advantages: ex-Magnite CTO, $800M in managed spend

✓ Pattern-matches to successful adtech exits

Slide 08Ambiguous

The Ask

“"Raising $15M Series B at market terms"”

⚠ No use-of-funds specificity or milestone mapping

Slide 08 — RebuiltPrecise

The Ask

$15M → 18-month runway → $8M ARR → Series C at $120M pre

✓ VCs can model the return without asking
