What to include in a pitch deck
A simple structure that works for most audiences, mapped to the slides in this deck:
| Part | What goes there | Slide in this deck |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | The pain your customers have, with evidence | Slides 4, 7 |
| Solution | Your product and why it is better | Slides 6, 7, 8 |
| Market | Size and target customer | Slides 3, 4, 5 |
| Traction | Revenue, users, growth or pilots | Slide 3 |
| Business model | How you make money | Slides 10, 11, 17 |
| Team | Why you are the people to do this | Use any content slide |
| The ask | How much you are raising and what it buys | Slides 5, 8, 9 |
Key numbers: Pitch decks and fundraising
Research figures you can quote on your slides. Each one names the study it comes from, so your audience can check it.
| Finding | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Average time a VC spends reviewing a seed pitch deck | 3 min 44 s | DocSend |
| Average time on a pre-seed deck | 4 min 10 s | DocSend |
| Seed decks read all the way to the last slide | 58% | DocSend (2026) |
| Top reason startups fail: ran out of cash or couldn't raise | 38% | CB Insights, post-mortem analysis |
| Second reason: no market need | 35% | CB Insights, post-mortem analysis |
Sources: DocSend, what VCs want in a seed deck · DocSend, pre-seed pitch deck · Pitch deck statistics, Presentations.AI · SmartCompany on CB Insights' startup failure report. Figures are from the editions named; check for a newer edition before you present.
So put the ask and the traction early: about four in ten seed decks are not read to the last slide.

Tips for a pitch deck
- Investors spend under four minutes on a deck, so put traction and the ask early.
- One message per slide; the headline should read like a sentence.
- Show evidence of market need, the second most common reason startups fail.
- Keep financial detail in an appendix or a separate model.
Mistakes to avoid
- Too much text on each slide
- Market size with no bottom-up logic
- Hiding the ask until the end
Checklist before you present
- Is the problem backed by evidence?
- Is traction on an early slide?
- Is the business model clear?
- Is the team slide relevant to the problem?
- Is the amount and use of funds stated?
Great for
- Investor and fundraising meetings
- Client and consulting proposals

How to customise it
- Download the ZIP file and unzip it to get the .pptx presentation.
- Open it in PowerPoint, or upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.

- Change the theme colours once to recolour the whole deck, then delete any slides you don't need.
Questions about a pitch deck
How many slides should a pitch deck have?
Most seed decks run 10 to 15 slides. DocSend's data shows investors read quickly, so shorter and clearer usually wins.
Should I send the deck before the meeting?
Many founders send a short teaser version beforehand and present a fuller version in the meeting.
