How do founders actually cut a 25-slide deck to 10?

Most founders cut slides by deleting wallpaper: team photos, logos, the vision moodboard. That is not a cut. Angels skim for decision facts. Keep only what answers: what you do, why now, who pays, what you proved, how much you raise and for what.

The cut I see work:

1. One problem slide, not three market slides

2. Product proof over roadmap fiction

3. Traction or learning, not TAM theater

4. Ask plus use of funds on one slide

5. Team as proof you can ship, not bios

Round Funded pitch deck review flags the fat before you send. Slides that do not help an angel decide go first.
