To be fair, they had raised seed capital and a previous VC round before this pitch. They had already laid the groundwork and this was to show they are still getting somewhere.

Very interesting slides. Also interesting to see how long it took them to get there (they started CafePress in 1999, and they ran 9 other businesses in 6 years before that!). Another "overnight success takes years of hard work" story.
