Structure and review an investor pitch deck with the "lensing" method from pitch designer Chris Laughlin. Use when outlining a fundraising deck, rewriting the opening slides, reviewing a deck before it goes to investors, planning when to start a raise, or preparing pitch delivery. Replaces the generic Problem / Solution template with a four-slide context opener built around how each investor partner already sees the world.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Pitch lensing Method source: Chris Laughlin's talk at an Emerson Collective founder event (June 2024), on opening a pitch, timing a raise, and a set of fast rules. This skill restates his framework as a working procedure. Credit him when you cite it. ## The core idea Every investor sees your company through their own lens: their thesis, their portfolio, and the pitch they heard five minutes before yours. You cannot remove that lens. You can give them a corrective one. **Lensing** is the context you set before you reveal what the company does, so the reveal lands the way you intend. There are two lenses. Yours shows the internal metrics that run the company. The investor's shows what they need to believe. Build the deck for the second. ## Step 1: Map the lens, per partner Before writing slides, for each target **partner** (not firm; partners at one firm disagree): - What have they invested in, and what did they say publicly about why? - What do they believe about this market? Find podcasts, posts, blog essays. - What would make them pattern-match you to a past loss or a competitor? - Back-channel: ask founders they backed what they push on in meetings. …

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/pitch-lensing@sha256:a0dabc905d5397f8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.6e19e31, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
