This template was initially based off a few generally accepted decks that were passed to me by friends who were / are VC's, I then based this on years experience in the entrepreneurship space building, growing and selling companies, added a few things that I believed to be improvements in communicating value to your potential investors.
This is also not a bible but should serve to give an overview of what you should think about. Each company and business is different, think about those items in this deck that are important to your business and use them. It's also ugly on purpose, so you have to do the work putting it all together.
By all means, edit, augment, change as you see fit. Enjoy, and good luck!

Editor's Notes
This is a more defined overview of the product as a whole. The information flow to the reader follows this paradigm. 1. What pain points does it solve - understand the solution (problem)2. What is it - Understand the product (solution)3. How is the market shifting that this product makes sense - grasp the market4. Who uses it. - prove traction
Basic company background slide, showcasing how the product falls into the technological sphere, timeline and background show acceptance and growth
How would someone use the product, very simple language again, communicating value.
Delete if not necessaryThe result of using the product, a show - tell example of the before identified problem-solution parity.
The team, historically, investors will put their money behind a fully complementary team before product any day. A strong team reinforces their belief that you - as a startup - will be able to succeed, and introduced the company's management to investors.
Moar traction
Actionable is your industry, this is who you’ve segmented out and are actually targeting. This slide shows the investor an understanding of the market, and your core customer base, it lets them know if the market makes sense financially to enter or not. This can often be a deal breaker in negotiations should the market not be big enough to generate a high enough internal rate of return (IRR) for the investor. Generally accept that IRR is the ONLY thing they care about.
Change vertical / developer as need be. Keep offer, value, result.
How we make money.
What’s happening in the market, demonstrate knowledge of space
This is what you give them, at what rate, and how much they get, followed by your historical, and projected financial statements.
Investors want to exit (make money). Whether this exit is in the form of an acquisition (ideal for the investor), a IPO (initial public offering and highly unlikely), a joint venture, or any other type, investors want to know what direction you see the company headed in. They are not in it for the long game, and want to know that you've thought about this as a business venture above anything else. IMG's are potential acquirers.
What are positive indicators exist along the political, economic, social, technical, legal, environmental influence on your product, and where have you idientified potential roadblocks to full product scalability.
The terms in here are BS, but this shows you've done a situational analysis, and have prepared a proper competitive response to each situation. i.e. competitor with more clout launches a similar product -> how we respond.
