Read guideHow to Structure Your Pitch Deck
Lead with a clear problem statement, then show why your solution is timely and defensible. Keep slides visual and focused on one key message each.
Include market size with a realistic wedge, traction with trend lines, and customer proof. Investors need evidence that demand is repeatable.
Close with your go-to-market strategy, unit economics, and use of funds. The ask should map directly to milestones that de-risk the next stage.
Keep the full deck under 15 slides and prepare a backup appendix for deeper diligence topics.
What Makes a Great Pitch
Great pitches are crisp, credible, and founder-led. Show mastery of your customer, speak to measurable progress, and communicate both ambition and operational discipline.
Do: quantify traction, explain why now, and answer hard questions directly. Do not: overstate market capture, ignore competition, or hide key assumptions.
Financial Modeling for Startups
Build a model with monthly views for the first 24 months, then quarterly projections. Tie revenue to explicit drivers such as leads, conversion rates, pricing, and retention.
Use three cases - base, upside, downside - and link hiring plans to runway. Investors respond well to models that reveal strategic thinking, not false precision.
