Pitch Deck Structure

Core Workflow

  1. Identify stage, audience, raise goal, company category, and presentation context.
  2. Choose a deck flow that fits the evidence available, not a generic template.
  3. Map each slide to one job: problem, insight, product, market, traction, business model, go-to-market, competition, team, use of funds, or ask.
  4. Note evidence required, weak slides, and likely investor questions.
  5. Draft slide titles, key points, and optional speaker notes.
  6. Mark sensitive claims and financials for review.

Safety Rules

  • This is analysis and drafting support only, not legal, tax, investment, or financial advice.
  • Do not invent metrics, customers, market size, valuation, terms, revenue, or investor commitments.
  • Do not imply a deck is investment-ready without founder, finance, and counsel review.

Deliverable Shape

For pitch deck structures, provide:

  • Deck goal and audience
  • Slide-by-slide outline
  • Key claim per slide
  • Evidence needed
  • Investor questions
  • Weak spots or missing proof
  • Review notes
