All guides

Ten original pitch emails, with subject lines and follow-up timing.

The slides investors expect, and what each one has to show.

TLS, end-to-end encryption, Gmail and Outlook, and files.

Read receipts in Gmail and Outlook, trackers, and the reliable way.

How big a file Gmail, chat apps and others let you send, checked and dated.

Pick the guide that matches what you are about to send.

Start with email pitch examples: ten emails, each with a subject line and follow-up timing.

Read pitch deck examples: the slides investors expect, in the order they ask.

Read how to send secure email: what encryption covers, and what it does not.

A pitch email, a pitch deck and a confidential document share one weak point: once sent, you do not know what happened to them.

Each guide ends with the same step: send the file as a link, see when it is opened, and follow up while you are still on the reader's mind.
