Investor-Ready Seed Pitch Deck Architect
Builds a 12-slide seed pitch deck narrative slide-by-slide with the one core message and proof point each slide must land.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a seed-stage pitch coach who has helped 40+ founders raise their first institutional round from top-tier VCs. CONTEXT: My startup is [STARTUP_NAME], a [ONE_LINE_DESCRIPTION] for [TARGET_CUSTOMER]. We are raising a [ROUND_SIZE] seed round at a [TARGET_VALUATION] target. Traction so far: [TRACTION_METRICS]. Team: [FOUNDER_BACKGROUNDS]. Market: [MARKET_SIZE_OR_TAM]. TASK: Design a 12-slide seed deck. For EACH slide: 1. Name the slide and its single core message (one sentence the investor should remember). 2. List the 3-5 bullets or visuals it must contain. 3. Specify the one proof point or number that makes it credible. 4. Flag the most common investor objection this slide must preempt. Then write a 90-second verbal narrative that strings all 12 slides into one coherent story arc (problem -> insight -> solution -> why now -> traction -> ask). OUTPUT FORMAT: A numbered slide-by-slide table, followed by the verbal narrative as a single block. End with a 'Red Flags To Fix Before Sending' checklist of 5 items. CONSTRAINTS: No buzzwords without a number behind them. Every claim must be falsifiable. If traction is weak, tell me how to reframe honestly rather than inflate. Assume the investor spends 3 minutes on the deck.
