Show HN: Decks For Good – get fundraising advice when you give to charity

rogerdickey — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 14:23:56 +0000

As an angel investor in ~15 unicorns and a bunch of other startups, I spend a lot of time reviewing decks for founders as a favor. I love to help but I wish my time had even more impact. So I built Decks For Good, a website where founders can get feedback on their deck and fundraising process from a VC or exited founder in exchange for a $250 donation to charity. We put together a great group of advisors and we're ready to help you out! Sign up and let's do some good together.

New comment by rogerdickey in "996"

rogerdickey — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 21:00:09 +0000

My view on this is very different from most commenters. I love work, and early in my career really thrived in a "996" job. I wrote more about it here as a response to this post, "In defense of 996": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45152608

The first comment on my post was "fuck off". I'm not trying to push my working style on anyone else, I simply like to work hard. What's wrong with that?

Great idea! Interest-based communities have a lot more trust so things like meeting up, transacting, or dating can happen with less friction.

I’m saying the conversation should focus on whether or not the police were allowed to do this, not colorful language like “journalists being rounded up.”

Unsurprisingly, this title grossly misleads. RTFA. The journos didn’t leave the area after they were ordered to by police and that is why they were “rounded up”.

Now in a few years we can complain about having paid $1m+ per month for our EasyDNS subscriptions

CA was a 3rd party developer that misused data users authorized them to use and it happened 10 years ago when FB was still essentially a startup. They’ve come a very long way.

Who said it’s a crime for businesses to keep their own interests in mind or even to weigh them heavily? Seems prudent

There is no “should”. Service providers can do whatever they please. Look up Masterpiece Cake Shop.

Most of this happens if you 1) sign up for FB 2) install their app. If you don't do both of these things they can't track you, right?
