Buffer Pitch Deck

Buffer helps individuals and small teams schedule posts, track engagement, and manage multiple social profiles from a single dashboard. The company has become as well known for its long-standing radical transparency practices (public salaries, revenue, and equity) as for its product.

Buffer was founded in 2010 by Joel Gascoigne and Leo Widrich. The company operates as a fully remote, distributed organization with no formal headquarters.

This seed deck is one of the most widely cited early-stage pitches on the internet, both because Buffer publicly shared it in the spirit of transparency and because it uses concrete traction and revenue slides that were unusual for a pre-seed company at the time.
