Nice deck, BUT this is Hacker News, so here's the customary negative feedback:

- the "what's the plan" slide is bad: it doesn't convey the original sense that other providers will join soon or have already joined. the tagline makes it look like it's a future plan, when it's actually describing the past.

- that "$20m" slide makes it look like it's a lot of money. The original clearly wanted to contextualise it and make it look cheap. ("just 20m for all these providers!")

- seriously? I got more data-per-square-inch from the original presentation.

- thin fonts are overdone and hard to read.

- VCs don't care about presentations anymore, I got in YC20xx by <clever social engineering episode>.

I also object to any slides that cannot be at least readable printed in black and white. Consider the ink costs - do you think the NSA is made of money?!?

I thought most slides these days print to more 'normal colours'? My university always has slides with dark bgs, images and crazy coloured texts but the PDF slides available to accompany them are always only just the text + any images if they have copyright, and print very well in b&w, if people still feel the need to do that

The need to print in B&W is more about b&w laser vs color ink jets at the consumer level. Quality and TOC is so much better on a B&W laser than paying so much for color ink tanks if you do mostly info doc print outs.

In addition, while using the actual company logos in the presentation may spoil the aethetic, it conveys the information much much quicker.

+ I like the way each slide it headed with a question. I find that helpful in doing presentations

- On slide 13 I got a bit lost as the green circle for US & Canada stands out a lot so I read it before the text. Maybe the green circle could include the text?

Great marking!

For a government program like this, $20M looks like nothing no matter what the context is.
