Pitch Deck Generator

The Pitch Deck Generator writes an investor deck from what you tell it about your startup. You pick a theme and a length, check the details, and get a deck you can edit, present from the browser, or download as PowerPoint or PDF.

Find it in the app under Resource Center → Pitch Deck Generator. It is available on startup accounts. If you are signed in with an individual profile, switch to your startup first.

Create a deck

Step 1. Choose a theme

The theme decides which slides the deck has, the order they come in, and how the text is written. Pick the one that matches who you are pitching to.

  • Classic VC Pitch is for seed and Series A funds. Every claim is tied to a number or a source from your inputs.
  • Minimalist Angel (YC style) is for angels, accelerators and demo days. One idea per slide and short headlines.
  • SaaS & ARR Growth Deck is for B2B SaaS, developer tools and product-led companies. It leads with MRR, ARR, growth, retention and unit economics.

Step 2. Set the length and fill in the details

Choose 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 slides. Ten is the default. Each theme has a priority order for its slides, so a short deck keeps the ones that matter most. A 5-slide Classic VC deck, for example, covers Vision, Problem, Solution, Traction and The ask.

Then fill in the details. Only the startup name and the one-liner are required, but every empty field means a thinner slide.

  • Startup name and one-liner
  • Problem and solution
  • Target market and size
  • Traction
  • Business model
  • Competition and edge
  • Team
  • Raise amount and use of funds

Most of these fields start filled in from your startup questionnaire. Edit them here if the deck needs different wording. Changes you make in this form stay with the deck and do not change your profile.

Step 3. Generate

Click Generate. The deck opens when it is ready, usually within a minute. The generator only uses what you gave it. If you left traction empty, it will not make up numbers, so check every slide before you send it to anyone.

Edit the deck

Click Edit to change headlines, points and speaker notes directly on the slide. Click Save when you are done. If you try to leave with unsaved changes, the app asks first.

  • Add a slide, move a slide up or down, or delete it.
  • Add icons to section labels, key numbers and points.
  • Upload a picture to a slide. The limit is 5 MB per image.
  • Change the background (Tint, Grid, Dots, Band or Midnight). This saves straight away, even outside edit mode.
  • Use Polish this slide to get a rewritten version of the current slide. You see it next to the original and choose Keep or Discard. Unsaved edits are saved before the polish runs.

Present and export

Present opens the deck fullscreen in your browser. Use the arrow keys, Space or Page Down to move forward, and Esc to stop.

Export gives you two formats:

  • PowerPoint (.pptx) has editable slides and keeps your speaker notes. Use it if you want to keep working in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
  • PDF looks exactly like the deck on screen. Use it for sending to investors.

The More menu also has Copy outline as text, which copies every slide and its notes to your clipboard.

Reconfigure or delete a deck

Reconfigure deck in the More menu takes you back to the theme, length and details, then regenerates the deck in place. This rewrites every slide, including edits you made by hand. Pictures and the icons on section labels and key numbers stay if the new deck still has that section. Icons on points are cleared, because the points are rewritten.

Delete removes the deck for everyone on your team. This cannot be undone, so export a copy first if you might need it.

Plan limits

The limit is on saved decks, not on how often you generate. The Free plan keeps 1 deck, Go keeps 5, and Pro has no limit. When you reach the limit, delete a deck or upgrade to make another. Reconfiguring an existing deck does not count as a new one.

Common questions

The slides are vague. How do I fix that?

Give the generator more to work with. Real numbers in Traction, a named competitor in Competition and Edge, and a specific raise amount make the biggest difference. Then reconfigure the deck, or use Polish on single slides if you want to keep your other edits.

I can't find the Pitch Deck Generator.

It only shows for startups. Switch from your individual profile to your startup, then open the Resource Center again.
