Pitch Deck Tips For Your Seed Round

Alright founders, let's talk about pitch decks for your seed round. Here's the deal: 1. Start with the problem—make it personal, make it relatable. 2. Showcase the solution—why is your product a game-changer? 3. Market size—go big or go home. VCs want massive potential. 4. Your team is key—highlight your experience and why you're the ones to solve this. 5. Show traction—even little wins matter.

Been there, done that, and too many decks suck because they don't nail these basics.

Big yes on highlighting the team. But don't just state your backgrounds, show how your experiences make you perfect for tackling this problem. Give them the personal passion narrative—makes your story memorable!

Spot-on advice. But remember, founders, the deck is your foot in the door—your presentation and ability to answer tough Q's is what gets you the check. Practice your pitch, anticipate the hard questions, and have a clear, concise answer ready for each.

Good points. As for traction, don't just show numbers. VCs love growth trends and engagement metrics. If you’ve got a good story about user growth or retention, make sure it’s front and center. That's the hook.

lol, all decks suck, it’s just a game of who can tell the tallest tale. Next you’ll be saying the font choice can make or break a million-dollar deal 🙄

Thanks for the tips! Working on my deck now and this helps. But how much traction do we really need? Our beta just has a handful of users.

Regarding market size, it's not just about throwing out big numbers. Be prepared to back it up with data and a solid explanation of how you're going to capture that market. And another thing, understand your competitors deeply—someone always does what you do.

This is basic stuff but vital. One thing I'd add: don't overload with text. Keep it visual, use graphs and images to tell your story. Seen too many decks that look like a novel. VCs have the attention span of a goldfish, you got seconds to make an impact.

haha, truth about the decks man. saw a pitch where the 'massive market potential' was for artisanal toothpicks... niche but not exactly the next unicorn 🦄.
