## Slide 2: Problem
**Content**: The pain you're solving
**Key message**: Make them FEEL the problem
**Tips**:
- Use a specific story or scenario

- "X million people face this problem every day"

## Slide 3: Solution
**Content**: Your product in action
**Key message**: How you solve the problem differently
**Tips**:

**Tips**:
- Specific amount (range OK: "$2-3M")
- 3-4 use of funds categories with percentages
- Milestones this funding achieves (18 months)

## Slide 12: Contact
**Content**: Thank you, contact info, CTA
**Key message**: Let's continue the conversation

3. Storytelling Structure

Problem (emotional hook)
  → Insight (why now, why this matters)
    → Solution (your product)
      → Proof (traction, data)
        → Vision (where this goes)
          → Ask (how to make it happen)

The "So What?" Test: Every slide must answer "why should the investor care?"

4. Deck Variants

Audience	Slides	Focus
Pre-seed/Angel	8-10	Team, vision, early validation
Seed	10-12	PMF signals, early metrics, market
Series A	12-15	Growth metrics, unit economics, scale plan
Partner	6-8	Mutual value, integration, audience
Sales	8-10	Customer problem, ROI, case studies

---

5. Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Too many slides (20+)	Cut to 12, use appendix
Feature list instead of story	Lead with problem and benefit
"No competition"	Show how you're positioned differently
Unrealistic projections	Bottom-up with explicit assumptions
Too much text per slide	1 key message per slide, visuals > text
Missing the ask	Always end with clear, specific ask
