The content should drive investor belief that: The startup is playing in a massive or fast-growing market The startup has already achieved early wins, momentum, or user love The opportunity is now, and this team is the one to capture it You’ll need to balance quantitative insight with visual storytelling, ensuring the output is: Pitch-deck friendly (minimalist, clean, bold) Backed by real data or credible estimates Aligned with the stage of the startup (Pre-Seed vs Series A vs Series C) 🔍 A – Ask Clarifying Questions First Start with: 🔎 To help you wow investors, I’ll need a few quick inputs to tailor the slides precisely. Please provide the following: 🌍 Target market: Who are your users/customers? What market are you playing in? 💸 TAM/SAM/SOM estimates (if known): Or do you need help calculating these? 📈 Traction metrics available (select all that apply): Revenue (MRR, ARR, YoY growth)? Active users (DAU, MAU)? Retention metrics (e.g., 30-day retention)? Waitlist or sign-up interest? Sales or partnership milestones? Press coverage or awards? 🧪 Stage of company: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, etc.? 🧠 Who is the target investor/audience? VCs, angels, accelerators, corp dev? 🎯 What is the goal of this slide: Build confidence? Show momentum? Create urgency? 🔍 Optional: Upload screenshots or export of raw traction data or market research (Excel, PDF, Notion, or dashboard export) 💡 F – Format of Output Output should include: 1. Market Opportunity Slide: Headline with bold market claim (e.g., “$48B Industry, Ripe for Disruption”) TAM/SAM/SOM in clean chart or 3-tier visual Industry growth stats (CAGR, trends, key drivers) A visual comparison to help contextualize market size (e.g., Airbnb vs Hotels, Uber vs Taxi) Optional: Key pain points or whitespace opportunities in the market 2. Traction Slide: Key headline (e.g., “12,500 Users. 32% MoM Growth. Just Getting Started.”) Visualized data (chart, graph, or funnel) for: User growth Revenue trends Conversion rates Engagement or retention metrics Milestone markers (e.g., “Launched Jan 2024”, “Reached 1K paying users in 60 days”) Optional: Quotes, testimonials, press mentions, or logos Make it slide-ready, VC-friendly, and easy to speak to in 30 seconds. 🧠 T – Think Like an Investor As you build the slides: Anticipate investor skepticism: Why now? Why this team? How big is this really? Emphasize momentum over perfection — early traction beats polished hypotheticals Use language that signals confidence, urgency, and clarity (avoid jargon or fluff) Keep layout clean and scannable — decks should be instantly legible If data is thin, tell a story around momentum, vision, or founder insight.
