The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Winning Seed Pitch Deck

This is The Startup Breakdown, the only newsletter looking into the new Y Combinator companies that you need to know. By joining this growing community of hundreds of founders, investors, and other startup aficionados (think i spelled that right?), you're getting a firsthand look at the companies that may be the next Airbnb, Coinbase, or Reddit.

Happy Thursday, folks.

Crafting the Perfect Seed Pitch Deck: A Step-by-Step Guide

It’s every founder’s dream to raise a massive round from big name investors and make the cover of TechCrunch, reinforced with 2 years of runway and knighted with VC approval that makes your scratch pad idea look official.

Unless you’re named Sam Altman or Elon Musk (serious question, what’s stopping you from legally changing your name to one of these?), you probably won’t raise billions with a text. That’s where decks come in.

In this seed pitch deck, you have to get the investor's attention and convince them that your company has the potential to literally be the biggest one started this year, and you realistically have maybe 30 seconds (at most) to do so.

So while you may be tempted to put your company’s entire life story into 45 slides, don’t. Unless you’re a massive, cash-flowing machine, you should rarely have even a dozen slides.

If your idea is promising enough, and if your seed pitch deck contains the right information, you'll have ample opportunity to tell investors everything they may care to know in a meeting.

Even better, I use plenty of concrete examples, meaning you can see exactly what it takes in action rather than rely on some vague description.

Here’s how to nail your seed deck:
