What Is A Pitch Deck?

Entrepreneurs and those seeking investment for their businesses develop a presentation, or pitch deck, to persuade decision makers to buy from them, or invest in their business.

  • Types

    • A pitch deck that you will present

    • A pitch deck that you will potentially send (but only after presenting)

  • Content

    • Slides will typically contain information on the following regarding your business’ products or services:

      • Problem

      • Solution

      • Market

      • Product

      • Traction
