Top 10 VC Pitch Decks, Examples and Templates

A venture capital pitch deck is a short presentation, usually 10 to 20 slides, that founders use to raise money from investors. The strongest decks cover the same core in order: the problem, the solution, why now, market size, business model, traction, team, and the raise. Below are real examples worth studying and what to take from each, plus the financial section most founders get wrong, drawn from the decks behind the more than $15 billion our clients have raised.

Kruze works with hundreds of VC-backed startups across various funding stages, which means we review a lot of pitch decks. Our clients raise over $4 billion in venture funding annually, so we have a concrete sense of what lands with investors and what doesn’t.

To help founders get started, we’ve compiled the best pitch deck templates across the internet. Remember, a strong deck is just the start, but you’ll also need a financial model and to be ready for due diligence once a VC is interested. Kruze’s fractional CFO services are available to help you with your financial documentation.

In addition to the example presentations below, you’ll find information about the standard slides that companies use to raise venture funding. Continue scrolling to see a TechCrunch interview with a Kruze client, DeepScribe, where the founder and their investor walk you through the deck they used to raise a $30M round. Finally, we’ve mapped out over a dozen questions VCs actually ask founders during a pitch, so you know exactly what to prepare for.

We also have our free startup pitch deck course! It includes two free-to-use Google Slides startup pitch deck templates, one downloadable financial model template, and over 8.5 hours of content describing what VCs look for on every slide in the deck.

Again, the pitch deck course has two free-to-use templates. No email or registration or anything – just click the links, open the Google Slides, and duplicate them into your own Google Drive. One of the free templates is a B2B example, the other is a B2C example. Haje Kamps, the well-known TechCrunch writer who produces the “Pitch Deck Teardown” series, helped create those free templates – so get them!

Top 12 venture capital pitch deck templates on the internet right now

  1. Guy Kawasaki’s pitch template. This is the OG demo pitch deck. Short and sweet. Starting to get a bit long in the tooth, but still the first one to check out because it will highlight how simple and short can be better (don’t make a 30-slide deck!!)
  2. Y Combinator’s slide template. The actual deck that YC links to (it’s a Google Slides file) has such poor design, we wouldn’t recommend using it. HOWEVER, the order of slides and the topics are 100% on, so it’s worth carefully reading the commentary in the actual post. We like the final slide, as it clearly outlines how much funding is needed and the use of the funds. A solid slide to end the conversation on.
  3. First Round Capital’s deck. One of the top East Coast VCs supposedly had a hand in creating this one, and the slide order/content is one of the best examples of what to put in your deck. It’s in a proprietary format, but if you are looking for a view on how to order and design a pitch deck, this is one you must check out.
  4. Orange Seed deck. This deck was reviewed on TechCrunch and rated “almost perfect.” Besides its visual appeal, each slide provides just the right amount of info. The cover slide says what they do. The problem slide lays out the problem in an easy-to-understand way, the solutions slide uses facts and numbers to explain why what they do is best. The market sizing slide has a Venn diagram and paints their positioning at the bullseye. If you are raising a seed round, check out their deck, it’s great.
  5. Series A pitch deck used by Front to raise their A – Front Series A Deck. This founder very kindly shared their slides and fundraising experience. Great example of a competition slide in an industry with legit competitors.
  6. Airbnb’s seed deck. This is a classic (although the visual design did not age well). If you are looking for a consumer deck or one that explains how to launch into a new(ish) industry, this is worth studying.

We’ve also put links to six other examples below, like the Uber deck and the Mattermark slides. Scroll down to see more real-life examples of some of the best decks on the internet, and dig into our commentary on slide order and content strategy.

Slides in an example Investor pitch deck

The professionals (like YC and Guy Kawasaki) suggest 10 slides in a standard pitch deck. The real point is that you should be able to deliver your pitch in 15 minutes or less – and if pressed, do a 5-minute pitch. That’s really short.

Why so short? Aren’t most VC meetings scheduled for 30 minutes? Well, sure, but…

Assume your VC is five minutes late to the meeting. The VC will probably then give you a few-minute spiel about what makes their fund different. Then assume that you need to answer at least five minutes of questions if your pitch is not going well – and 10 minutes of questions or more if the investor is engaged. And you’ll need a five-minute pitch that isn’t rushed if an important partner is running very late and misses the first 20 minutes of your 30-minute meeting.

If you do get cut short, your goal is to get them to like you enough to agree to the next meeting, not to close the deal – or even make it through the entire presentation in that setting. Focus on the key areas and key topics, and get them excited about your company purpose, mission, and market.

The standard table of contents in a good pitch deck is:

Based on the billions our clients raise each year in VC funding, we think you will want:

  1. Cover/title slide – including the company name and the founder’s contact info; a tagline for the company is a great idea as well “Uber for cats!”
  2. The industry’s or customers’ problem – the pain that your startup is solving
  3. Your startup’s solution or value proposition – how your startup fixes the issue / the benefits you provide

The templates start to diverge, so a few different next slides are:

  1. EITHER:
    1. Traction – metrics that show adoption or market validation
    2. Product magic/product demo – showing off the offering
  2. EITHER:
    1. Market size
    2. Business model / how you make money
  3. Go to market/growth – explain how you are going to grow
  4. Competition and/or competitive analysis/advantages – all startups have some sort of competition, or there is at least an existing method used by customers who are currently dealing with the pain your startup is solving
  5. Team
  6. Financial projections – include revenue growth, high-level spend, burn, and other KPIs like customer count (you can go deeper in an appendix or in a financial model). The goal is to make it clear that you are GOING BIG. And if you are looking for a free downloadable model template, visit our financial modeling page.
  7. Summary:
    1. How much you are raising
    2. Traction if you haven’t already done so
    3. Use of proceeds (what you do with the money)
    4. Current investors’ participation level (if any – strong investors who have already invested in previous rounds and who are participating in this one are a very good signal)

An “executive summary” after the cover page that goes over the company and round still may be a good idea, even though you don’t see these pages often now. It quickly helps the VC see what your key metrics/sales points are, and how much you are raising. We usually recommend only four or five bullets on this slide:

  • Disrupting the $x billion industry
  • 1,500 customers using product [or] Marquee customers include McDonald’s and Marriott
  • ARR of X, growing 20% month over month
  • Team has deep domain experience from XYZ
  • Raising $8 to $10 million Series A

Given that YC and Guy Kawasaki seem to no longer (or maybe never) have an exec summary at the front of their venture capital pitch deck templates, you are probably OK ignoring this advice and just getting straight from the cover page to the problem statement.

  1. Q&A – It’s a good idea to have the final slide say “Q&A” or “questions” (and it could have your contact info on it as well). The idea is that you’ll likely have this slide up on the screen for a while, so encourage the VC to ask questions. And since the last slide can sometimes be one of the weaker ones, why leave it up? Finally, the slide that hangs out on the screen may influence the questions that the VC asks, so it’s a good idea to leave it open-ended so they actually ask what they want to ask.

Tips for your slides

Here are some of the slides from the best decks mentioned above and some tips that founders we work with have found helpful:

  • Problem Slide – Invite the investor into discussing/discovering the problem with you. Some problems are obvious – but that doesn’t mean that the VC has thought about them deeply before. Help the investor understand the issues from the eyes of the buyer/consumer. The best venture capital pitch decks have problem slides strong enough to make the investor really, really want to meet with you. Highlighting a customer and a pain point they had is super awesome! Use this example to transition into your solution slide, detailing how you solved the client’s problem. If your pitch includes a live demo, reference this client to highlight the specific features they use and love.
  • Go-to-Market / Growth Slide – For companies that are already generating revenue and growing, show that you know who your customers are and where you can find them. For pre-revenue startups, use this slide to prove that the founders have 1) thought about how to sell the product and 2) have a plan for what you will try to prove vis-a-vis your sales and marketing with the capital you are raising.
  • Business Model – Somewhere you’ve got to say what your pricing model will be. Make sure that it aligns with your go-to-market strategy – you can’t have an inside sales team for a $5 per month product. And it’s very unlikely that a Fortune 500 company will purchase a $1M per-year product without going through a solid sales process led by expensive AEs that you have to hire.

Seed Pitch Deck Outline

Pre-seed is essentially the first money in. That’s what seed used to be for everyone. So this applies to pre-seed and seed – basically, what to present when your company is more of an idea.

  1. Company’s slogan / one-sentence elevator pitch – The first page or first slide should really just be the company’s name and slogan, or in one sentence, what you are doing. And just get the audience focused on that. Make sure to make an impression, and deliver it with passion. You are in sell mode here. You’re pitching investors.
  2. Problem – What are your customers struggling with? Many investors like the problem-solution framework, and this slide would present the problem. Talk about how your potential customers are struggling, what’s going on right now in the market, why it’s not working, and then the next page in the deck will be your solution.
  3. Solution – How are you going to make everyone’s life better? You can explain how you’re going to be better, how you’ll save your clients or customers a ton of time, a ton of money, etc. “Better, faster, cheaper” is a Silicon Valley slogan that people typically use when explaining their startup’s solution.
  4. The Product / Service
    1. Nothing is more powerful than a demo. That also shows that the company has actually built something, and you can get a taste of it.
    2. Often you see a screenshot of the demo and can then click for video.
    3. Some people like more visual depictions of what you are doing, so a demo is pretty helpful. You want to get the conversation going, you want their reaction to something, and you want them feeling vested in what you’re doing. Get them to buy into the solution.
  5. Market Size
    1. This is kind of a “check the box” because it’s always hard to size the market.
    2. And many of the best companies look like they have a tiny market but turn it into something huge.
    3. But it’s a good exercise and tells investors where you are going. And, remember, venture capital really just wants to invest in big opportunities. VCs are okay with some losses, but when something works, they need it to be big. And so that’s why they really care about market size. This section helps prove to the seed investor that you are aiming for a large company in a big potential market, not a small lifestyle business.
    4. You would be surprised at how many small businesses that never really anticipate getting bigger than a couple of million in revenue try to raise seed financing. So the seed investors need to be able to weed out the entrepreneurs who are not focusing on big opportunities. You need to make sure you demonstrate that your idea is a big opportunity in this part of your seed pitch deck.
    5. And if you’re willing to spend a bunch of your time, like five or 10 years of your career, on something, there better be some size to it!
  6. Competition
    1. You want to identify competitors. If you pretend you don’t have competitors, or bad-mouth them, you’ll lose credibility. Investors typically like for you to acknowledge your competition. And there’s often a little bit of education, because you know this market really well, but the seed investor doesn’t, so here is where you teach them about the competition.
    2. Seed investors know that competitors aren’t the end of the world. In fact, the best venture capitalists actually LIKE successful competitors, because it helps validate that there is a market for the solution.
  7. Go-to-Market Plan
    1. This is a super important slide. Are you using a sales team? Partnerships? Online marketing? Events?
    2. Creativity, different approaches, and things that investors have seen work are great.
  8. Financials
    1. How much money do you need?
    2. How long will that get you?
    3. When do you think you’ll start to generate revenue?
    4. A visual is a really good part of this slide.
    5. It’s important to understand the seed investors’ mindset on this slide. They are doing the math and thinking, “what does this company need to raise money from a Series A venture capitalist?” Because really, at every step of the venture capital game, people are putting money into your company and then hoping others will step up down the road to fund it. The seed investors that you are pitching only have so much capital. They are going to rely on your company doing well enough and looking strong enough to get a VC to invest in your next round. And so, they’re doing that math and trying to figure out what is going to be that milestone that really brings other venture investors into the company.
  9. Exit Opportunities
    1. Some seed investors don’t want you to talk about a sale eventually. They are essentially saying, “I don’t want to hear that you’re thinking about selling the company in three years or four years, or how could you possibly know who’s gonna buy it?” Which is very fair. So you needed to kind of tread lightly on this. One way to do this is just point out the players in the market and make the point that, if you get traction and you’re successful, these people or these companies will have a real strong vested interest in acquiring you, so you are a great investment opportunity. And so that’s usually enough.
    2. It’s enough to say that if we hit traction, there will be many interested companies like X, Y, Z.
    3. You don’t need to say like “I’m going to get bought for X number of dollars in year three” or something like that. Just talking about who could buy you or who would be interested is a delicate way of doing this.
    4. It’s always great when a founder says, “I’m taking this through IPO. I’m committed.”
    5. Note: This slide could suggest that the CEO is not in it for the long term. It may be better to discuss this on the competition slide, “Here are other, very big companies that don’t play in this solution but who have the same customer base as we want … they may get into our market.” That method doesn’t imply to the seed investors or the VCs that you are putting the cart before the horse. Instead, it says that you know who the heavy hitters are in the general market. You can explain your competitive edge and business concept, compared to what others are doing and the holes in the market. Please check out the pitch deck templates, because we have a couple of great examples in there.
  10. Team – Some people like to put this way up front, right after the slogan and what they’re doing, because they have a team that has accomplished a lot and the team is backable. But you can have it here at the end of the presentation, so either way is fine. It’s good to get some bios up there, get some pictures so that people can identify the team. Also, the nice thing about bios and your founding team slide is that often you can play the name game with venture capitalists or seed investors. They’re professional networkers, and they know a lot of people. If they know someone that’s on your team or that you know, that’s a really great background diligence channel. But wherever you put it in the pitch deck, definitely have a team slide.
  11. Any examples of progress – This is huge. If you can say you already have clients, revenue, etc., it is much more convincing. All these signs that what you are doing is working, and that it’s legit and it’s something the seed investors want to be a part of, it’s a social proof type of thing. And so showing your traction is probably the best thing you can do to sell the company. If you commit a lead investor, that’s great, always put that on this slide in your investor pitch deck.

And then there’s a tiny little tip, which is, often you get to the end of the presentation, and that slide just sits up there for the remainder of the pitch discussion. If it’s going to sit there, just make it something showing how awesome you are to help you close the sale. Maybe it’s pictures, graphs, or your traction. Instead of that boring “questions” slide, do something that spices it up.

At the seed stage, you’re still living the dream and convincing investors to come along. So it’s a little less finance, a little less metrics, and more vision. But really this framework should work for any type of venture capital presentation.

How to write a pitch deck to raise funding

Ok, so you’ve now seen the VC and seed deck outlines above – but how do you actually start writing a presentation that will help you get funding? Here’s a plan to successfully write pitch decks:

  1. Understand WHY you’ll be able to raise funding – this could be your traction, the market, the team, the product strength. Find the one thing that will blow investors out of the water, and build your story around it.
  2. Now that you know your biggest strength, put together the deck outline.
  3. Decide what the one major takeaway is for each slide – this might be the slide title, or it might be a point driven by an image or chart. But you only have a handful of slides, so each one has to drive the vision forward; make each one count.
  4. Start from the strength slide; don’t get it perfect yet, just make sure it highlights the “wow.”
  5. Next, fill in the remaining slides, remembering that you are selling your vision. Use data, market insights, and customer quotes to support the conclusion that your company will be successful.
  6. Now, practice running through the deck. It sounds cheesy, but do it out loud! Make improvements to the slides and flow based on how it sounds when you deliver it to yourself.
  7. You are ready to practice on some “friendlies” – either current investors, partners, or mentors. Get their opinions, then iterate the pitch deck until you feel confident you’ve got the story down.

Tips for your fundraising presentation if time is running short

Ok, it’s highly likely that your 30-minute conversation will be cut into a much shorter time frame. There are good and bad ways to handle this. The worst way is when a CEO talks REALLY REALLY fast and blows through the presentation. A better way is to have the five-minute presentation ready to go, then just walk through it briskly. Hit the most exciting part of the pitch right away – traction, revenue growth, a big-name client, your experience. Whatever it is, don’t hide the ball. No demo, and try to answer the VC’s questions as quickly as possible. Your only goal in a super-tight pitch window is to get the next meeting scheduled ASAP.

Guy Kawasaki talks about his 10/20/30 rule, where the deck should be 10 slides, you should be able to deliver it in 20 minutes, and the font should be 30-point or larger. Again, you probably need to be ready to give it even faster.

Common mistakes founders make crafting their investor pitches

In the Kruze pitch deck course, we spoke with renowned pitch deck consultant and author Haje Kamps about some of the most common mistakes we’ve seen founders continuously make when presenting to potential investors. Here are some of those problems – and you can watch the entire video below.

  • Making the Team Slide Weak: We’ve noticed that many founders often inundate their team slide with unnecessary information, such as a full organizational chart, instead of focusing on key members and demonstrating their relevant skills. Don’t overload it; you don’t get points for lots of logos. Instead, figure out the most relevant or impressive items.
  • Misunderstanding Market Size: The total addressable market and serviceable markets must be large enough to demonstrate true venture-scale potential. It’s fine to start in a niche, but you need to create a company that’s worth at least a billion dollars, if not more.
  • Unrealistic Projections: We’ve seen founders showcasing either slow, steady growth or overly aggressive, unrealistic growth – both extremes are unappealing to investors. You aren’t going to go from founding to $100 million in revenue in a year. And if you are growing from $4 million to $4.5 million in revenue, congrats, you’ve got a great small business, but it’s not venture-scale.
  • Failing to Accurately Represent Traction: A traction slide should provide substantial evidence of growth, often in the form of customers generating revenue or being in the sales funnel. Unfortunately, many founders include markers such as press coverage or vague “interest” that doesn’t translate into tangible growth.
  • Lack of a Coherent Story: Founders must weave a coherent story that sells not just the product, but the vision of the company and its future value. Many founders fail to communicate this effectively, resulting in a disconnected or confusing narrative.
  • Absence of a Competition Slide: Many founders overlook the importance of including a competition slide. This is a major mistake, as failing to acknowledge competition can lead investors to believe the founders are unaware of the market landscape. If you’ve got big competitors, great, you’ve just helped the VC understand who you might sell the company to in a few years!

That’s just a few of the top venture capital pitch deck fails we go over in the video – check it out. Being aware of these common mistakes and addressing them in your pitch deck can significantly enhance your chances of capturing a venture capitalist’s interest.

Tips for the financial section of your pitch deck

As financial advisors to funded startups, we tend to overly index on the financial section of our client’s fundraising pitch decks. Note that this is our interest area (and how we get paid), so it may or may not be all that interesting or important for your startup’s presentation.

What Financial Data Goes Into a Great VC Pitch Deck?

For very early-stage companies, you want to have either an operating plan or more detailed financial projections in the pitch. These should be backed up with a model that is shareable with investors. The model doesn’t have to be fancy – simple is often better, in fact. The purpose of the model is to illustrate your strategy’s financial implications, but even more importantly, the model is like the pitch deck – it’s there to sell your vision and get the investors excited about investing.

Financial Data in the Deck by Stage

The financial details in your VC deck will vary based on the stage of your business. Let’s break down what you might need for a seed to Series C startup.

  • Seed stage – Your pitch deck only needs a brief description of what you are intending to do with the money. A visual can go a long way here. Since revenue is now often expected for an A, you should articulate some sort of expectation in revenue before the money runs out.
  • Series A – A 5-year view is ideal, as this gives you the chance to show / “prove” that you are going to create a venture-scale business. An extrapolated income statement with revenue growth, high-level spend, burn, and other KPIs like customer count. You ought to have an appendix with more detail.
  • Series B – You will still need the 5-year projections. But, at a B, you’ll have more financially minded investors. This means that you ought to have a real appendix section that gets into the drivers and assumptions for your continued growth. SaaS companies will need to be able to explain how they calculate their LTV to CAC.
  • Series C – Series C companies should have real financials prepared by a professional accountant, either in-house or as a consultant. While you’ll still want a single slide in the meat of the pitch deck that has your five-year vision, your historical results will also matter. And the financial appendix should have historical statements – probably all three – and projections.

Finally, we’ve compiled some other pitch deck examples that you may find helpful. Again, we think the best VC pitch deck templates/examples are the ones we highlighted at the top of this page, but here are some of the others that are floating around on the internet that you may like.

Six more of the best pitch deck examples

  1. Uber – This is when they were still called “UberCab.” It’s very early in the company’s life, so it is product- and market-focused. This deck may be helpful to pre-launch startups.
  2. Intercom – Another example of a seed-stage pitch deck, for when Intercom was raising $600k. This is a short deck – only 8 slides – and it focuses on the team, problem, solution, and market.
  3. Mattermark – Data company Mattermark had real traction, and there are several examples of solid metrics/charting visuals in this deck. With $1.5M in ARR at the time of this pitch, they were probably around where many Series As are getting done. Refer to slides 11, 12, and 13 for clear examples of how to present historical revenue growth, future projections, and customer industry breakdown.
  4. Mixpanel – The set of slides that Mixpanel used to raise a $65M round. The competition slide is particularly good at driving a discussion with the VCs. The traction slide is also strong – one of the best in combining the visual “up and to the right” chart with details on the company’s milestones.
  5. Mint – A great seed-stage fundraising deck, with the whole enchilada: a good team slide, a great market size one, solid competition, user acquisition, and a financial slide that makes my inner accountant happy. This could be the best template/example for companies with an experienced team.
  6. Orange – A great example of a seed-stage hardware-as-a-service deck. It gets into the problem, the market size, the solution, and then makes a solid case for why this team is the one to solve it.

So that makes 12 of the best pitch deck templates and examples that we’ve seen on the internet.

Pitch Deck Example from a Kruze Client

One of our clients, DeepScribe, was interviewed on TechCrunch Live about their Series A fundraising process. Akilesh Bapu, the CEO and co-Founder of DeepScribe, was interviewed along with Nina Achadjian, a VC and Partner at Index Ventures. Nina invested $30 million in the company and was impressed with the founders and the story they explained during their pitch.

In addition to giving Kruze Consulting a shout-out for our help on his accounting diligence (thanks, Akilesh!), he also walks through part of his VC pitch deck. It’s one of the better examples that we’ve seen of a live pitch deck presentation.

What Questions do VCs ask During a Pitch?

Questions during a pitch are a GREAT sign – that means that the venture capitalist is paying attention. Founders should use their venture capital pitch deck as a crutch, jumping to the right slide to answer the specific question, then returning to the original presentation order to make sure all important topics are hit.

Here are some of the trickier questions investors might ask during a presentation. Resist the temptation to argue with a VC if they ask difficult questions; saying you don’t know but then laying out your plan to figure it out is a great response to many questions.

Questions VCs Ask

  • What’s the backstory?
  • Tell me about yourself
  • How did you meet your cofounder?
  • Tell me about the team? How did you find your first hires?
  • What is the specific problem you are solving?
  • What’s the key insight about your user that led you to build this business?
  • What’s the ideal outcome for your customer?
  • How are customers currently solving this problem, before your product/solution existed?
  • What differentiates your solution from alternatives?
  • What have your biggest learnings been so far?
  • How are you planning to acquire customers?
  • What would your customers say about your solution, and how would they react if it went away?
  • Why now? What has changed in technology or the market that makes this possible only now?
  • What do you think has to go right for this to be a massive outcome?
  • How much do you want to raise, and what milestones do you hit with that capital?

VC Pitch Deck FAQ

What is a VC pitch deck?

A VC pitch deck is a presentation (typically in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF) used to explain a startup idea to potential venture capital investors. A pitch deck contains information on the business, the market, and the company’s traction/financials.

What is a pitch deck used for?

These presentations are used to 1) convince venture capitalists to take a first meeting with the founder(s); 2) begin investment due diligence; and 3) convince the venture firm’s partnership to want to invest in a startup.

What Goes into a Data Room?

We’ve got an entire article on what VCs ask for during due diligence. Still, the biggest items that won’t be in your presentation are legal documents, financial statements, the revenue model, contracts, etc. Most pitch decks are light on larger spreadsheets and customer contracts, which are better shared in a data room.

Will a deck help you get a meeting with a VC?

A great venture capital pitch deck may help you get a meeting with a venture capitalist. VC firm NFX reminds startup founders that investors are looking for the following 12 data points before taking a meeting with a startup:

  1. Team
  2. Company description
  3. Market opportunity
  4. Business model (how you make $ + your financial projections)
  5. Geography (less critical for remote-friendly teams)
  6. Team size (FTEs)
  7. Timing of the fundraise
  8. Company traction
  9. How much you are raising
  10. Fundraising history
  11. Fit for the specific VC
  12. Referrer – who introduced you to the fund

Does your venture capital presentation have to be PowerPoint?

VCs typically expect a slide deck; these days, usually a PowerPoint, Google Slides, or a PDF of one of those formats. Above all, your presentation must be formatted as a slide deck that partners can easily view, access, and share on their devices.

Is it OK to share your venture capital presentation by DocSend or a presentation sharing platform instead of as an email attachment?

These days, more and more VCs are okay with receiving the presentation via DocSend or through another presentation-sharing platform. However, you’ll occasionally find a VC who wants their presentation the old-school way.

How do you modify your pitch deck for the final, all-hands VC partner pitch?

The final step in getting a term sheet, at many venture capital firms, is to pitch the partnership one final time. This is after you’ve already gotten one of the partners to support your investment internally as the champion. In the final meeting, you will face a room with vastly different levels of context, ranging from your supporting partner who knows everything to others who know almost nothing about you.

It’s not safe to assume knowledge on of your industry or problem. Invite all the partners into the fold by explaining what you are doing and building excitement around it. Don’t gloss over the market size or competition!

Hope this helps you find a good pitch deck template for your fundraise!
