It won’t be great So instead of having to spend all this time creating your own educational content, could you get AI to do it for you? This is the general thesis behind Learn.xyz, and it helped the company close $3 million. Parts of the pitch make it easier to see why he finished the round, and other parts. . . Okay, we’ll get to that.
We’re looking for more unique presentations, so if you want to submit your own, here’s how.
Slides in this surface
Learn.xyz has a fun and lightly animated collection that I can’t capture in screenshots (boo!), but I’ll link the full presentation collection at the end.
Here’s the full 10-slide deck the company used to promote its company, closing its $3 million seed round:
- Slide cover
- Team segment
- Vision chip
- Slice the problem
- Solution slide
- Product demo slide
- Traction chip
- Why now slide
- Revenue model segment
- Question slide
Three things she loves
I love the bold brevity of this 10-slide deck, but regular readers of this column are already mentally preparing for the inevitable (fingering?) response to all the missing information. However, there is a lot of great content here.
Joyful design
When the founder told me that his company’s presentation was animated, making the PDF version useless, I was ready to talk about how there’s no place for animation in presentations. But I was completely wrong. The set works without animation, but Learn.xyz was able to strike a nice balance that adds to the whole experience. Overall, the company’s design language is strong and simple:

The screenshots, character design, and use of language all align with the company’s claim: bringing fun to learning.
Clear problem statement
From my own experience, I know that creating a lesson plan is very difficult. This slide explains the problem well.

Content creation cannot scale easily, and assuming an AI-generated bot can generate good enough quality, this would be a huge leap forward. Very cool indeed.
I would very gently call out, for the record, Learn.xyz for sneaking part of its solution/product into the problem slide, but I’ll let it off the hook; It was done well and skillfully.
That’s a lot of drag, y’all

Convincing users to engage with the platform in any way is often a challenge; Inviting users to create around 41,000 pieces of content in four short months is impressive.
Of course, there are also some challenges with this chart: What happened in April? Is the number of lessons created the most important metric for this startup? What about revenue, lessons learned, or customer NPS?
However, any startup that can get this level of user engagement deserves a closer look, even if what it chooses to measure and the metrics themselves are a bit strange.
In the remainder of this teardown, we’ll take a look at three things Learn.xyz could have improved or done differently, as well as the full presentation suite!
