Attach.io has a compilation of decks from AirBnB, AppNexus, Buzzfeed, LinkedIn and YouTube, which reveal what their early pitch decks looked like and what they did so right to become as big as they are today.

According to the breakdown, the big names tended to pitch low risk business models that offered a slightly new edge to an already popular market.
