How to structure your pitch deck
Nothing is new under the sun and pitch decks are no different 🫡

The structure of every business’ pitch deck is almost always similar but cutting out the noise and focusing on the ones that have scaled to become successful businesses (like Uber) is a sure-fire way to create a winning pitch deck

Tell the story of your tech solution
While the overall structure of your pitch deck matters, investors will most likely be on the lookout for the what, the why, the who and the how.
Telling the story of your tech solution in a way that captures these four items is key and being able to tell a good story starts with being able to listen to one.

The story of your tech business starts from the problem your market has been complaining about, and you’ll get it when you listen to them. There’s no way you can’t win with that! 💪

Here’s what not to do…
Don’t create too many slides.
Matt C. Smith, founder of the Lunicorn, believes that 8 slides are the magic number and he’s explained how you can do this.
TL/DW?
There are different ways to say what you need to in your pitch deck. Your best bet is to keep it short and sweet, while skillfully timing how you display it (if you’re pitching on stage)
