The deck itself

## Read MySQL's full pitch deck

All 186 slides, each read for what it argues and set against the decks that raised at the same stage. The cover is shown here; the rest is read in the app.

## Investors who claim them

Firms listing MySQL on their own portfolio page: the firm's own account rather than a round we watched. Weaker than an announcement, much stronger than a list somebody sold us.
