Hi, In order to improve your pitch deck you need to evaluate your business from the standpoint of an investor.
Hi, In order to improve your pitch deck you need to evaluate your business from the standpoint of an investor. If you were investing into a company and handing over money what are the things you would want to see? A passionate team with a track record of executing. An innovative solution which solves a real pain point for customers in a way which is differentiated from competitors. This competitive advantage would preferably be defensible. Hopefully it is in a large market which has capacity for exponential growth. A detailed go to market and customer acquisition strategy is also vitally important, cash is king in startups so traction with paying customers not only buys you time, but also demonstrates to the investor you have somewhat validated and tested the idea you're pitching. It's also important to convey all this in your deck in a manner which is compelling and concise. Clarity is vital when pitching investors so be specific and don't fill your slides up with a bunch of boring text. Use visuals to convey concepts where you can. Here's a template you can use to help with the structure of your deck. It's based on the recommendations of Sequoia Capital http://deckworks.co/investor-pitch-deck-template/ Hope this helps.
