I think the real point is that you should be able to deliver your pitch in 15 minutes or less - and if pressed, do a 5-minute pitch. The professionals (like YC and Guy Kawasaki) are suggesting 10 slides in a standard pitch deck. Scroll down to see more real-life examples, and dig into our commentary on slide order and content strategy. We’ve also put links to five other examples below, like the Uber deck and the Mattermark slides.

If you are looking for a consumer deck or one that talks about how to launch into a new(ish) industry, this is worth looking at. Great example of a competition slide in an industry that has a lot of legit competitors.Īirbnb’s seed deck - This is a classic (although the visual design did not age well).

Series A pitch deck used by Front to raise their A - This founder very kindly shared their slides and fund raising experience. I don’t know how you actually download this - it’s in some kind of a proprietary format, but if you are looking for a view on how to order and design a pitch deck, this is one you must check out. A solid slide to end the conversation on.įirst Round Capital’s deck - One of the top, East Coast VCs supposedly had a hand in creating this one, and the slide order/content is one of the best examples of what to put into your deck. I like the final slide, as it clearly outlines how much funding is needed and the use of the funds. HOWEVER, the order of slides and the topics are 100% on, so it’s worth carefully reading the commentary in the actual post. Ycombinator’s slide template - The actual deck that YC links to (it’s a Google Slide file) has such poor design, I wouldn’t recommend using it. Starting to get a bit long in the tooth, but still the first one to check out because it will highlight how simple and short can be better (don’t make a 30 slide deck!!) Guy Kawasaki’s pitch template - This is the OG demo pitch deck.

Haje Kamps, the well known TechCrunch writer who produces the pitch deck teardown series, helped me create those free templates - so get them! Top 10 venture capital pitch deck templates on the internet right now One of the free templates is a B2B example, the other is a B2C example.

We’ve released our free startup pitch deck course! It includes 2 free Google Presentation templates that are free to use, and one downloadable financial model template - plus over 8.5 hours describing what VCs look for on every slide in the deck.Īgain, the pitch deck course has two free templates that are free to use. Finally, I’ve added in a dozen+ questions that VCs often ask founders during the pitch (I’ll probably create an entire article around VC questions and answers). You can scroll down to also see a TechCrunch interview with a Kruze Client, DeepScribe, where the founder and their investor walk you through the deck they used to raise a $30M round. In addition to the example presentations below, I also lay out the standard slides that I’ve seen companies use to successfully raise venture funding. These are pitch deck examples that I think are working.

Again, I’m strongly biased, as I’ve seen many companies successfully raise and some not. Since I’m regularly being asked for a template for a venture pitch deck, I thought that I’d compile the best templates available on the internet that I know about. And because Kruze clients raise over two billion dollars in venture funding annually, I get to see a lot of what works - and what doesn’t. As a former VC who also has been an exec at a number of startups that have raised quite a few million in venture financing, I have some strong views on what information VCs want to see. So I’ve seen a lot of venture capital pitch decks recently. A big part of my job at Kruze is to help our clients prepare to raise venture capital.
