Startup Pitch Deck [Editable] Powerpoint for Pre-Seed Through Series A

It seems everywhere you look on the internet, some company or individual is spruiking a list of “top X pitch decks that got funded”, and using names like AirBnB et. al., as examples.

I don’t question that these decks worked for that particular Startup and Founder at that point in time. You simply can’t as a result of that fact deduce that it is still a valid format that VCs in particular expect to see.

I’ve put together a simple deck with examples that can be edited – or simply used as a model to design or have someone else design a deck that is true to who you are, and presents your startup in the best possible light.

Note: This is the deck that you will use to present to an investor online or in person when they offer you the chance to pitch.

I tell the founders I invest in and mentor that you really need to have three versions of your pitch.
1. A 90-second “elevator pitch” in which you touch on the highlights.
2. A 5-6 slide pitch deck that covers for example only Problem-Solution-Traction-Team-Ask
3. And this 12-ish slide deck

Although not included in this purchase, it is highly recommended that Founders attend at least one of my weekly Pitch Deck Masterclasses – limited to 10 founders. I  review the Pitch Deck of each Founder in turn and give them valuable and actionable insights to improve their pitch deck and improve their chance of securing investor meetings.
