Deck Structure

4 prompts

Seed Round Pitch Deck

1/20

Seed round pitch deck (10-12 slides). Startup: [describe]. Include: problem, solution, market size, traction, business model, competition, team, ask, use of funds, vision. Sequoia-style or similar classic.

Structures seed round pitch decks.

💡

Pro tip: Seed decks: team + vision > traction. Early stage investors bet on founders + market. 12 slides max; keep hungry not exhaustive.

Series A Pitch Deck

2/20

Series A pitch deck. Metrics-driven stage. Include: problem, solution (proven), traction (metrics), unit economics, market expansion, go-to-market proven, team grown, ask, use of funds (scale not survival). Data-driven.

Structures Series A pitch decks.

💡

Pro tip: Series A: metrics > story. $1M+ ARR, customer retention, unit economics. "We could work" not enough; "we work" required. Data heavy.

Problem Slide

3/20

Problem slide. Startup: [describe]. Include: specific problem painted viscerally, quantified pain, who has this problem, why it matters now, not solved by current solutions. 1-2 sentences or visual.

Writes problem slides.

💡

Pro tip: Problem slide: viscerally paint pain. Investors should feel it. "$10B lost annually to X" = numbers; "here's a customer screaming" = emotional.

Solution Slide

4/20

Solution slide. Startup: [describe]. Include: our solution in 1-2 sentences, how it works at high level, key differentiation, visual or demo reference. Clear simple.

Writes solution slides.

💡

Pro tip: Solution slide: what not how. Investors don't care about tech stack. "We do X for customers" > "our proprietary algorithm." Keep accessible.

Market + Traction

4 prompts

Market Size Slide

5/20

Market size slide. Market: [describe]. Include: TAM/SAM/SOM with math, bottom-up calculation, credible sources, realistic capture percentage. Investable market.

Writes market size slides.

💡

Pro tip: Market size: bottom-up > top-down. "5000 dentists × $100K/year = $500M SAM" > "dental market $10B." Math builds credibility.

Traction Slide

6/20

Traction slide. Traction: [describe]. Include: revenue trajectory, customer count + growth, key metrics (MRR, retention, CAC/LTV), social proof (logos, testimonials), momentum story. Data speaks.

Writes traction slides.

💡

Pro tip: Traction: chart going up + to right. Ideally 30%+ MoM. Logos of known companies = social proof. "Hot" narrative = round closing fast.

Business Model Slide

7/20

Business model slide. Startup: [describe]. Include: how we make money (1 sentence), pricing + plans, unit economics highlights, revenue streams, path to profitability. Clear monetization.

Writes business model slides.

💡

Pro tip: Business model: monetization clear. "Free for now" = concerning. SaaS (MRR), transactions (GMV + take rate), marketplaces (both sides) — know your model.

Unit Economics Slide

8/20

Unit economics slide. Metrics: [describe]. Include: CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC ratio, payback period, gross margins, cohort retention. Profitability of each customer.

Writes unit economics slides.

💡

Pro tip: Unit economics: proof business can scale profitably. LTV/CAC > 3 required. Payback period < 12 months ideal. Weak metrics = seed stage, not A.

Differentiation + Team

4 prompts

Competition Slide

9/20

Competition slide. Competitors: [list]. Include: 2x2 matrix or feature comparison, honest landscape, our unique position, defensibility. No "no competition" claim.

Writes competition slides.

💡

Pro tip: Competition slide: always show competitors. Claiming "no competition" = naive + red flag. 2x2 matrix positions you in clear space.

Differentiation Slide

10/20

Differentiation slide. Startup: [describe]. Include: core differentiators (2-3), defensibility (moats), customer-visible benefit, long-term advantage. Why you win.

Writes differentiation slides.

💡

Pro tip: Differentiation: defensible > superficial. "First to market" fades. Network effects, proprietary data, brand, scale = enduring moats.

Team Slide

11/20

Team slide. Founders: [describe backgrounds]. Include: founders + key hires photos, relevant experience (why-this-team-for-this-problem), prior successes, domain expertise, advisors (if impressive). Credibility-build.

Writes team slides.

💡

Pro tip: Team slide: relevant experience > prestigious. "Ex-Google" less relevant than "built similar product at X." Prior exits = confidence.

Vision Slide

12/20

Vision slide. Company: [describe]. Include: 5-10 year vision, big picture impact, market transformation, inspiring + ambitious. Where this goes if it works.

Writes vision slides.

💡

Pro tip: Vision slide: grand but connected to today. "We become $1B company in X way" > "change the world." Specific grandeur.

Ask + Close

4 prompts

Ask Slide

13/20

Ask slide. Round: [seed / Series A amount]. Include: raising $X, at $Y valuation (if appropriate), round type, lead investor or open, closing timeline. Specific + clear.

Writes ask slides.

💡

Pro tip: Ask slide: specific > vague. "$3M seed" > "raising a round." Specific ask = serious founder. Vague ask = tire-kicker.

Use of Funds Slide

14/20

Use of funds slide. Amount: [specify]. Include: category breakdown (talent, product, sales + marketing, operations), milestones each enables, next round timing, efficient allocation. Specific milestones.

Writes use of funds slides.

💡

Pro tip: Use of funds: milestones > categories. "$1M hires 5 engineers to ship X feature + hit $2M ARR" > "$1M for team." Outcome-focused.

Financial Projections Slide

15/20

Financial projections. 3-5 year. Include: revenue forecast, EBITDA or cash flow, growth rate, key drivers, assumptions acknowledged. Credible not fantasy.

Writes financial projection slides.

💡

Pro tip: Projections: acknowledge uncertainty. "These are targets based on X assumptions" > "we will hit this." Realistic + ambitious balance.

Closing Slide + Thank You

16/20

Closing slide. Include: memorable ending (vision / quote / call-to-action), contact info, Q&A invitation. Strong finish.

Writes closing pitch slides.

💡

Pro tip: Closing: return to vision + invitation. "This is what we're building; want to build with us?" Investor considers future partnership.
