How to Write a Compelling Pitch Deck

The startup pitch is a key step in raising funding. You must be able to talk about your company in a compelling, coherent, and comprehensive manner in a short amount of time. Your pitch should contain the following: The Attention Getter: Lead with the most compelling reason why you have a great business. State the Problem you are solving: It must be big enough to warrant customers to pay for it. Show the Solution: Discuss the core product and how it is packaged and monetized. Try saying what it does in 6 words or less. Size the Market: Do this at the Macro level and the Micro level in dollars and growth rate. Identify the Competitive Advantage: What gives your business a 30% increase in revenue over your competition? Discuss the Business Model: Is it recurring, a transaction fee, or other? Show the Team: Demonstrate you have a complete team and they have experience. Show the Growth Story: Sales, team, product, and fundraise are in motion. Show the Investment Opportunity: How much you are raising, and what is raised so far in interest, committed or invested? Make sure you hit these points in your next pitch.
