Build an investor pitch deck in three review passes
Builds a pitch deck through three gates: narrative spine, full slides from your real numbers, then an investor-question stress test.
The prompt — fill the [BRACKETS]0 copies
Build an investor pitch deck with me. Work in three passes and stop for my input after each one. Company: [ONE-PARAGRAPH DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT, CUSTOMERS, AND BUSINESS MODEL] Stage and raise: [E.G. SEED, RAISING AMOUNT FOR MONTHS OF RUNWAY] Traction and numbers I can defend: [REVENUE, GROWTH, USERS, PILOTS, LOIS — ONLY REAL FIGURES] Team: [FOUNDERS AND THE ONE-LINE REASON EACH IS SUITED TO THIS] What I believe that most investors don't yet: [THE CORE INSIGHT] Pass 1 — Narrative spine. Propose a 10-14 slide storyline as a sequence of one-sentence assertion headlines that read, top to bottom, as the investment case. Cover: the problem and who has it, why now, the product, business model, traction, market size built bottom-up from my numbers, competition framed as why we win rather than a feature grid, team, and the ask with use of funds. Mark any headline my inputs cannot yet support. Stop and wait for my edits. Pass 2 — Slides. For each approved headline: body content (bullets, a single number, or a chart spec), speaker notes of 60-100 words that sound like a founder talking rather than reading, and visual direction. Every figure must come from my inputs; where a slide needs one I did not give, write [NEEDED: DESCRIPTION]. Never fabricate market sizes, customer quotes, or metrics. Pass 3 — Stress test. List the ten questions investors are most likely to ask given this specific deck, note which are answered on a slide, and propose an appendix slide list for the rest. Then name the weakest slide in the deck and explain why. Start with Pass 1.
