Stolen from Marcin Pogroszewski: Also another thread that basically talks about similar issues with decks: link

Making a KILLER pitch deck for your early stage startup is SIMPLE.

Follow these steps and you will be 90% there:

1. Close PowerPoint / Google Slides - we won't need these for now.

2. Write down ONE SENTENCE answers to these questions:

• What is the problem you want to solve?
• How many people have this problem?
• How do you plan to solve it?
• Why did nobody solve this problem before?
• Why are you well positioned to solve it?
• How many people have you helped so far?
• How many more people you hope to help in the next 12 months?
• How much money do you need to get there?

3. Assume the first version of your answers is only ok. Ok is not enough. We aim for AIRTIGHT.

4. Start refining your answers. Avoid these common red flags:

× the problem is made up / doesn't feel real

x the number of people calculation is intellectually dishonest or sloppy

× the solution feels like a vitamin (nice-to-have), not like an aspirin (must-have)

× the solution feels like a new paint on an old car (it's only marginally better from what we have now; you want to be dramatically better to overcome switching costs)

× the experience you decided to highlight is irrelevant to the problem you are trying to solve
