The best startup pitches aren't pitches.

They're conversations.

I've helped startups raise over $20 million.

Here are 13 things to include in a killer pitch deck:

1. Title Slide

Include your logo and a one-liner to describe your business.

Use this slide to do your personal introduction and connect the dots between your story and the company you are building.

2. Problem slide

Most investors won't be experts in your sector so use this slide to contextualize the problem.

Key things to cover:

- What is it
- Who has it
- Why does it matter

Remember make it super simple for them to understand.

3. Solution slide(s)

How are you going to solve the above problem you just stated?

Make the slide simple and effective.

4. Solution slide(s)

Make an impact by contrasting the situation if you did not exist
