What is a PITCH DECK?
A pitch deck is a founder’s MOST valuable tool, that helps them derive their vision and enables an investor to see the vision. A pitch deck is not another presentation deck, but it tells a company’s story.
The Value in a Pitch Deck
What does a winning deck look like?
All founders and entrepreneurs should ask this question and try to answer it for themselves. A solid pitch deck can help you raise thousands of dollars, if not millions.
*Uber was able to raise $1.57 million dollars in the seed round at a valuation of $3.86 million.
*Airbnb got $7.2 million dollars in funding at a valuation of $70 million
*Facebook got $500k of seed funding from venture capitalist Peter Theil at a valuation of $4.9 million
A successful deck that can help you raise $2M, $20M or $200M is clearly worth quite a bit. If you spend $20k on creating a successful deck ( and you might, with a pitch deck coach, a fundraising consultant) but it helps you raise, $2 Million dollars, that is a 100X return – Would you not consider that as a successful investment ?
How much does a pitch deck cost?
A pitch deck costs anywhere from 0$ -5000$ and beyond. That is a pretty wide range! You can create a pitch deck or buy it online. But do you know what you are getting ? Do you know how to use that pitch deck ? What information to put in for the demo day pitch ? Design and color are only a small part of it.

A DEMO DAY PITCH DECK FOR BY AN INVESTOR FOR AN ENTREPRENEUR
Remember: An investor only spends under 3 minutes on a deck and there are no second chances. Make the best of your investor meetings!
Let us start off by looking at what it takes to create that investment winning pitch deck - right from the top. Lets learn about this from the investor's perspective.
A pitch deck is an investment deck meant for the investor.
Do you know which is the most important slide that matters the MOST to an investor? The order of the slide in the pitch deck also matters. Lets learn - A critical lesson.
Now its time to tell them, what problem exists in the market. There is a way to lay out this information. Remember, presentation, and the order matters for a reason.
We presented the problems. Now we got to talk the solutions. Step by step, one by one.
Now is the time to pull the curtain and introduce your product. What it is, how it serves and whom? All the questions, you want to answer, without beating around the bush. Show how your product is better than the others out there. You do not want to say, yours is the only one out there, because there are versions of it probably somewhere. So, show, how yours is BETTER.
What is the larger market size? Smart entrepreneurs know how to show their target market size. Make it easier for the investor to do the comparison and calculation, right there. Less home work and more instant decisions!
Time to talk about the startup's business model. Don't be afraid to talk about how the model may have changed. It is not a weak point, but rather shows, how you have learned and refined the business, - to make it a profit making machine. Any investor will like that!
Who are your top competitors? What fundraising did they do, what did they get as capital and at what valuations, at what stage of growth? All very important questions, in the mind of an investor. Takes a little bit of time and effort to research but this slide can help the founder, TREMENDEOUSLY!
Now is the time to welcome the team. Talk about their experiences, accomplishments - but in the context of the startup. Solopreneurship is not appreciated by the investors.
Now we are pretty much done with showing all the parts of the startup and competition. Now, lets discuss numbers, funding requirements and valuations. Tell the investor, what you are looking at in terms of capital and for how much equity at what valuation. Be careful, with the level of financial information, you want to put on a pitch deck.
A pitch deck is an entrepreneur's BEST tool. A pitch deck isn't another presentation deck, but it tells a startup’s investor relevant story. You will find a lot of pitch decks but getting one designed by an investor, probably not!
