Pitch Deck Lessons + GitHub Samples

Two pitch decks compared side by side: Airbnb's 10-slide deck that raised $600K, and Fyre Festival's deck, whose company later faced fraud charges, plus sample GitHub work to use as a model for your own portfolio.

In plain terms: This guide compares successful and failed pitch decks from Airbnb and Fyre Festival alongside real GitHub profiles. You can use these examples to learn how to present business ideas clearly and structure your own technical portfolio.

Why I recommend it: One idea per slide. Problem, solution, evidence. Decoration never closed a round.

Inside Connect: Airbnb's Engineering Apprenticeship Program

Airbnb's engineering team explains how Connect was designed, who it is for, how apprentices are supported and mentored, and what work they ship during the program.

Why I recommend it: The most honest look at daily life inside an apprenticeship. Use its language when you write your Connect application.
