What Are Pitch Decks
First things first, let’s dive into what exactly a pitch deck is so you can understand why they are so important. A pitch deck is a 10-20 slide presentation that concisely presents the problem, the solution, and your businesses path to success. In simpler terms, this presentation you will present to potential investors will clearly state your business idea, the problems your business will solve and your brand’s mission. It will also state the marketing plans for your business, it will address competition and the financials.

A good pitch deck should be able to convince investors that your company has a potential for success. The ultimate goal is to quickly & easily convey your business idea to gain the trust of possible investors.
How To Create A Successful Pitch Deck
