The Problem: Most Decks Are Too Long, Too Ugly, or Too Boring
I've reviewed hundreds of pitch decks. Most fail for the same reasons: too long (30+ slides), too ugly (bad charts, cluttered layouts), too boring (generic problem statements), wrong structure (traction buried on slide 20), no narrative (random facts, not a story).
📄
Too Long
30+ slides when investors want 10-12. Investors check out by slide 5 if you haven't hooked them.
🎨
Too Ugly
Inconsistent fonts, bad charts, cluttered layouts. Design signals competence — or lack of it.
😴
Too Boring
Generic problem statements, no compelling story. "The market is big" isn't a hook.
🔀
Wrong Structure
Traction buried on slide 20. No narrative flow. Slides that read like a Wikipedia article.
What You Get: A Deck That Sells
1
Cover + Problem
Company name, tagline. Then the pain point — urgent and expensive to ignore. Make them feel it.
2
Solution + Traction
Your product in one sentence + screenshot. Then proof it works: users, revenue, growth rate. Traction early, not buried.
3
Market + Product
TAM/SAM/SOM — show the opportunity. How it works with demo or screenshots.
4
Business Model + Competition
How you make money. Why you win (never say "no competitors"). Your unfair advantage.
5
Team + Financials + Ask
Why you're the right people. Revenue projections, burn rate, runway. How much you're raising + what you'll use it for.

Do you design decks or just give feedback?
Both. Deck review = I mark up your deck with specific fixes. Full design = I build it from scratch with you.
What design tool do you use?
Figma or Google Slides (your preference). I deliver editable files, not PDFs.
Can you help with pitch practice?
Yes. Included in the Fundraising Package. I'll play tough investor, you pitch, we iterate.
How many revisions do I get?
3 rounds of feedback for full deck design. Unlimited for deck review (within reason).

Rush delivery (1 week) available when my schedule allows.
