Startup Pitch Deck Template & Guide

Description
This guide came about because I have gone through the fundraising process when I founded a company where we raised over $250 MM before going public.

I also do angel investing and have seen lots of decks that are unattractive, lacking the correct information, or both. I thought it made sense to make a well-designed deck and combine it with a guide on best practices to help people better understand what investors are looking for.

The advantages of using the Founder Spark deck and guide include:

1) Save time
a) Only work on slides that investors care about
b) Most of the design work is done already (just add your colors and style)
c) The guide explains important concepts and metrics so you can spend less time doing research

2) Save money
a) No need to hire a designer to create your deck (can cost 1000's)

3) Better result
a) A beautifully designed deck that tells your company story without the waste
b) Easy to update as you get feedback from investors
c) Tips on how to pitch your company can increase your chance of raising money

This tool includes:

1) Deck for the purpose of raising a Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A round
2) Tips inside the deck to help you understand how to fill out the slides with your information
3) Beautifully designed slides
4) Customizable slides so you can add your style to the deck
5) Slides that are already in a presentable order

6) A guide to walk you through what your deck needs and how to pitch it
7) Explanations of what investors will expect and how to impress them
