We were asked to send our deck and so we did. What happens after you send a pitch deck that a VC asked for ? How long to wait or conclude the outcome ?

Hope for the best. That being said, for the next time, I would try to tell the person that you would prefer to pitch them with the deck (without being too pushy).

Based on my very limited experience, VCs ask for either a one-pager or a pitch deck to separate the wheat from the chaff. I assume very few people actually follow up and send the info.

In my experience, VCs usually respond relatively quickly (1 to 2 days, week at most).

If you're looking for funding, you should be pitching/trying to pitch to as many people as possible and listen closely to the feedback you're receiving. Don't wait for a single VC.

After a week or two, you can always send a follow-up with a friendly reminder. Maybe asking if he has an feedback on the deck.
