Hello,

I wanted to know if someone could point me in the direction to learn about making a pitch deck to present to investors. I have currently been researching how to, but wanted to know if anyone holds experience that is currently or in the past done one.

TIA,

Aaron G.

I found it incredibly helpful when crafting the content of the pitch deck. However for the design aspect I would recommend chatting with some graphic designers to get an idea of how to make things pop. However here are some general recommendations from my personal experience.

1. Minimize the amount of text whenever possible
2. Use illustrations to simplify complex topics
3. Stay on brand to keep slides consistent
4. Minimal text being used means the text that is there should be big and legible, potentially from a distance

In other words: Keep it simple! A pitch deck isn't meant to be a transcript of your full pitch. Rather, it should highlight your practiced verbal pitch in a visually pleasing form.

If you want to chat more about this, feel free to message me anytime!

Aaron - I've done over 50 pitch decks and have found good resources all over. Here's a couple to get you going.
