Pitch deck template.

A pitch deck is the short set of slides you use to explain a company to an investor or a big buyer. This template has twelve slides in the order people tend to ask their questions, with placeholder text and a one-line tip at the bottom of each slide.

It comes as a PowerPoint file that opens in Keynote and Google Slides, and as a PDF to read through first. There are no made-up numbers in it, only brackets where your real ones go.

What is in it

Slide	What goes on it
1. Cover	Your name, what you do in one line, contact
2. The problem	Who has it and what it costs them
3. Why now	What changed that makes this possible or urgent
4. The solution	What you built, with a real screen
5. How it works	Three steps from first use to the result
6. Traction	Three real numbers, each with its time period
7. Customers	Logos you have permission to show, and one named quote
8. Market	How big it can get, sized from the bottom up
9. Business model	How you make money
10. Competition	Why customers pick you over the alternatives
11. Team	Why these people win
12. The ask	What you want, what it pays for, how to reach you

How to use it

• Write the story before the slides. If you can’t tell it out loud in two minutes, no design will fix it.
• One idea per slide. If a slide needs two headlines, it is two slides.
• Show, don’t describe. A product screen, a customer quote and a real chart do more than bullet points.
• Real numbers only. Each with its time period. Leave a bracket empty rather than guess.
• End on the ask. Then your contact details. Nothing after it.

For the design part

Our pitch deck examples show how strong decks handle each of these slides, and our notes on building a presentation deck cover layout and pacing. When the story is right and you want the deck to look as good as the company, that is what our presentation design team does.
