Description
A mistake entrepreneurs often make is that they present their products to investors and use it as a pitch. This is the wrong thing to do, because investors put money into businesses, not products. Therefore, the objective has to be to make them invest in the great business you're going to build around your great product, convincing them that it is in their interest to invest early. The essential questions that you must ask yourself about your product or business, will become your pitch in the form of presenting the answers to potential investors. i.e. market? customer retention? profitability?

So why is it necessary to have a pitch deck? If you want to explain your company to investors in an easy, quick, structured way, then a pitch deck is your best option. It visually summarizes your business plan and the opportunities related to investment. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have your business plan written before creating your pitch deck, however it does mean that it will be necessary to go over every aspect of the company that you would have covered in a business plan so that you can make a great pitch deck that will secure investment.
