Types of Slide Presentations

At The Startup Garage we have developed three different kinds of pitch decks that are each designed for specific situations. Whether you want to give a quick and intimate presentation, a traditional pitch for your startup, or provide a stand alone presentation for an investor to read, The Startup Garage has the solution. See detailed descriptions of our presentations below.

The 5 Slide Introduction

We create a brief, five slide introductory pitch deck for your startup. These presentations are perfect for entrepreneurs who are meeting potential investors for the first time and are a perfect for effectively communicating the most important information about your company. Typically for 30 minute to 1 hour long meetings, the 5 Slide Introduction contains a snapshot of your startup, internal progress and external market trends, and how you will be successful in the future.

Slides include:

  • Company Snapshot: Your team, current investors/advisors, current funding, and your competitive advantage.
  • The Numbers: Revenue so far, burn rate, number of customers, employees, other important stats.
  • Timeline: Represents the progression of your industry over time, creating a visualization of how your product is the latest, greatest innovation in your industry.
  • Traction: Shows adoption of your project based on current customers and those in the pipeline, as well as major partners.
  • What’s Next: Explains where you are going, what you will focus on in the business, and what you need to get there (money, team members, advice).

The Live Pitch Deck

This pitch deck is designed for a standard, formal presentation of your company to a group of investors. The Startup Garage will create a set of approximately 10-15 slides that give a complete overview of your company, team, target market, competition and key milestones your startup has reached, as well as your future plans and funding needs. This deck is designed to accompany a detailed oral presentation, and is focused on having the most important information on each slide for the presenter to elaborate on.

Slides include:

  • Introduction/Teaser: Introduces your product, creates interest in your presentation.
  • Problem: Explains the customer’s pain point and how the competition isn’t solving it.
  • Solution: Explains how your product solves the problem and introduces your competitive advantage.
  • Your Product/Technology: Gives a succinct explanation of your product, highlighting proprietary advantages and technology.
  • Marketing and Sales: Overview of your sales and marketing progress thus far.
  • Competition: A snapshot of your competitors that underscores the legitimacy of the market as well as your advantages.
  • Team: An overview of your management team and advisors.
  • Projections and Milestones: Explains where you expect to be over the next few quarters and years, and the steps you’ve already taken to get there.
  • Status and Timeline: Explains your company’s current standing, including what you need, and when you expect to hit your next major milestones.
  • Summary and Call to Action: Re-iterates the high points of your pitch, and states what you’re looking for from investors.

The Stand Alone Slide Presentation

Our third pitch deck is designed to be sent independently to potential investors to review rather than being a visual aid for a live presentation. The Startup Garage will create a presentation that resembles a visual business plan, chock full of all of the information that anyone would need to gain a complete understanding of your company, future plans, and investment needs. Slides in this presentation are similar to those in the Live Pitch Deck with significantly more detail on the slides.
