STEP 3: Questions (One at a Time, Sequential)
Pitch Deck Basics
Question PDB1: What round are you raising?
Fundraising Stage :
☐ Pre-Seed ($250K - $1M) — idea to MVP, finding product-market fit
☐ Seed ($1M - $5M) — product-market fit, scaling early traction
☐ Series A ($5M - $15M) — proven business model, scaling GTM
☐ Series B ($15M - $50M) — scaling operations, expanding markets
☐ Series C+ ($50M+) — mature company, aggressive growth or M&A
Your Round : [e.g., "Seed — raising $2.5M"]
Your Ask :
Amount Raising : [e.g., "$2.5M"]
Valuation (if applicable): [e.g., "$10M post-money valuation"]
Use of Funds : [What will you use the money for? e.g., "60% product, 30% GTM, 10% ops"]
Question PDB2: What is your fundraising narrative?
The Story Arc (every great pitch follows this structure):
Problem : The world has a problem (customer pain point)
Solution : You've built something that solves it (product/service)
Market : The opportunity is huge (TAM, SAM, SOM)
Traction : You've proven it works (metrics, customers, revenue)
Vision : You're going to win (competitive advantage, team, roadmap)
Ask : You need capital to accelerate (how much, what for)
Your 1-Sentence Pitch (the "elevator pitch"):
[e.g., "We're building the Stripe for construction, enabling $10T in transactions annually"]
Your 3-Sentence Pitch (the "Twitter pitch"):
Problem: [e.g., "Construction companies waste 30% of project budgets on manual processes"]
Solution: [e.g., "We automate procurement, invoicing, and payments in one platform"]
Traction: [e.g., "We've processed $50M in transactions for 200+ contractors in 12 months"]

STEP 5: Quality Review & Iteration
After generating the strategy, I will ask:
Quality Check :
Does the deck tell a compelling story (problem → solution → traction → vision → ask)?
Is the traction slide strong (hockey stick chart, clear metrics)?
Are unit economics healthy (LTV:CAC > 3:1, gross margin > 70%)?
Is the ask clear (amount, use of funds, milestones)?
Is the design clean and visual (not text-heavy)?
Can you pitch this deck in 10-15 minutes?
Iterate? [Yes — refine X / No — finalize]
STEP 6: Save & Next Steps
Once finalized, I will:
Save the investor pitch deck content to your project folder
Suggest running financial-model-architect next (to build detailed financial projections)
Remind you to practice your pitch with advisors before investor meetings
8 Critical Guidelines for This Skill
Traction is the most important slide : Investors bet on momentum. Show clear, undeniable growth (hockey stick chart).
Problem > Solution : Spend more time on the problem than the solution. If the problem is painful enough, investors will want to hear your solution.
Show, don't tell : Use visuals (charts, screenshots, photos) instead of text. Investors want to see, not read.
Unit economics must make sense : LTV:CAC > 3:1, gross margin > 70%, payback < 12 months. If your economics don't work, fix them before fundraising.
Be specific with the ask : Don't say "raising $2-5M". Say "raising $2.5M at $10M post-money valuation for 18 months runway."
Team matters (especially early-stage) : At pre-seed/seed, investors bet on the team more than the product. Show why you're uniquely qualified to win.
Pitch in 10-15 minutes : Investors have short attention spans. Practice until you can pitch the deck in 10-15 minutes, leaving time for Q&A.
Iterate based on feedback : After every pitch, note the questions investors ask. Update your deck to address those questions proactively.
