my best advice for making a pitchdeck: design it like a children's book i) max 10 pages ii) one big sentence per page iii) one big image per page iv) the sentences should tell a story as you flip through the pages v) super simple words some other advice: - do not follow a random cookie cutter template about how to structure the deck (i.e., always put team first, or the generic problem-solution-market opportunity shit) instead, understand your best selling points and put those first i.e., if your ARR is growing very fast, put that first if your team has multiple exits and they understand this domain better than anyone else, put that first - do not put a damn market opportunity slide showing you have a 1 trillion dollar market. you do not. you just don't know how to do proper GTM. - the pitch deck is for a VC to scroll through (like twitter) async in a minute or two, do not put nuanced thoughts and word salad on there (I guarantee they will not read it) — put those in an appendix and you can cover them if you get a call
