Investor Pitch Deck Template
Showcase your deck to investors online via
a free Company Profile on Crowdfunder
What Your Pitch Deck Is
For…
The purpose of your Investor Deck is not to answer all possible
questions, nor close immediate investment. It is to open investors minds
to your vision and get them excited to know more. The story you craft in
your Deck gets them engaged to start filling in the blanks for
themselves
You want to give enough information to grab their interest, but not too
much as to overwhelm them or have your story lose clarity & focus.
Give them enough to get excited about, but leave them wanting more.
Your Deck should be able to stand on its own, without your
presentation.
Compelling Decks are concise, tell a story, are visual, 10-13 slides.
Common Deck Mistakes
Too many slides, too much information
“Wordy slides”: To avoid, follow Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 Rule of
Power Point for slide design. 10 slides / 20 minutes to present
the slides / 30 point font or greater
Too many product details, or too many financial details
Belittling competitors
False/silly assumptions you can’t back up or don’t have data on
False confidence or arrogance
