Equals was founded by Bobby Pinero (CEO) and Ben McRedmond (CPO) in 2021 with the mission of replacing Excel. Equals' cloud-based spreadsheet tool that allows users to connect live data from databases and other sources directly into a spreadsheet interface. The application is intended to bridge the gap between simple and complex data platforms, and to help startups make better decisions with their data. Equals used this deck to raise a $16M Series A in November 2022 (just five months after launching), led by Andreessen Horowitz along with other investors like Worklife and Craft Ventures. According to the announcement, Equals is used by companies like Notion, with a waitlist of thousands of startups and enterprises. When he shared the deck, founder and CEO Bobby Pineo said they focused the pitch on 'the three P’s: problem, product, people' – the same approach Equals used for their seed pitch deck. Equals took a similar approach to Rippling's Series A, supplementing the investor pitch deck with a 'data deck' that dives into the numbers.
