Pitch deck template

Build your deck the right way.

27 slides. Instructions on every page. Delete what doesn't apply as most decks end up at 12–16 slides.

Instructions, not blanks

Every slide tells you what to write.

What to write, what to avoid, and what investors are actually looking for in that section. No guessing.

Core vs. situational

Slides are labelled.

Core slides belong in almost every deck. Situational slides only apply if your business warrants them — hardware, marketplaces, deep tech, consumer apps.

Conditional hints

Built for your business type.

Building B2B SaaS? A marketplace? Deep-tech? The template tells you what that specific slide needs to say for your model.

16 core slides, almost always required. 9 situational slides, include only if relevant to your business model.
  1. 1

    Read every slide before filling in anything. The instructions explain what the slide needs to accomplish, not just what to put there.

  2. 2

    Delete slides that don't apply. The goal is a tight, 12–16 slide deck, not a comprehensive document.

  3. 3

    Use the conditional hints. If a hint matches your business type, use it. If it doesn't, ignore it.

  4. 4

    Replace instruction text with your actual content. When you're done, no instruction text should remain.
