Build a pitch deck

A deck with a story, numbers that hold up, and slides that look funded.

Investors remember the story and check the numbers. Build both before you think about a single slide layout.

The steps

  1. Story: Claude. Get the narrative right before you touch a slide.
  2. Numbers: Sourcetable. Build the model and sanity-check your own growth story.
  3. Draft: Gamma. Turn the outline into a full deck in one pass.
  4. Design: Beautiful.ai. Make it look like you have raised before.
  5. Diagrams: Napkin. Explain the mechanism in a picture instead of a paragraph.
  6. Market: AlphaSense. Cite market numbers you can defend in the room.

You end up with
