Cursor for pitch decks
done is better than perfect đŸ«¶

gm friends! Welcome back to the Tuesday edition of the Leaderboard. In today's issue, we've got: prospecting while you chill, a dashboard tool minus the hell, and a Cursor for your pitch deck.

Prospecting while the coffee’s still hot

Ciro rummages through half-a-billion profiles, figures out who actually fits your ICP, and hands back a ranked list with real emails and phone numbers. One click fires the data into your CRM (or a CSV if you’re feeling retro).

đŸ”„ Our Take: Most prospecting feels like dumpster-diving in LinkedIn, then praying it doesn’t return “info@.” Ciro is the intern you’d illegally clone: hear the brief once, hunt nonstop, and deliver warm contacts while you’re still opening Slack. If you’re still copy-pasting profiles in 2025, that’s on you.

Dashboards minus dependency hell

Preswald lives in the browser and turns a few lines of Python into shareable dashboards and internal tools. It comes with a reactive runtime, ready-made tables and charts, and a one-click deploy button, so you skip virtual-env drama and ship a link instead.

đŸ”„ Our Take: Building data apps usually starts with five broken dependencies and a silent prayer. Preswald lets you stay in one tab, watch UI updates in real time, and hit deploy before Slack can ask for a status update. If stack-trace archaeology is your idea of fun, keep digging, the rest of us just got a weekend back.

Slides at talking speed

DeckSpeed listens to your meeting, brainstorm, or off-the-cuff voice note and spins it into a finished slide deck. It writes the storyline, chooses layouts, drops in charts, images, and even 3-D models, then hands you a PowerPoint file or share link before anyone asks for “just one more slide.”

đŸ”„ Our Take: I’ve burned enough weekends nudging text boxes one pixel at a time. Letting an app handle the deck so I can focus on the pitch feels like swapping a shovel for a bulldozer—same job, fewer blisters.
