Section 5. Visuals for your Pitch Deck

A Pitch Deck is a short-written presentation, used by entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas, most often to investors. The basic purpose of the pitch decks is to fundraise capital for your business idea. Alejandro Cremades advises that entrepreneurs should prepare two types of pitch deck presentation:

  • one very detailed you will send by email and 
  • one with more pictures and visual display, used to present your idea in person.

Potential investors usually will ask you to send them a detailed pitch deck, based on which they will decide if they want to meet you at all. Regardless of whether it is detailed or one for meeting in person, the presentation should be easy to follow and understand. One research, conducted by DocSend, found that investors spend on average 3 minutes and 44 seconds per pitch deck.

Features of the presentation:

  • the presentation is visually presented in a way that is logically structured, visually well presented, with graphs and pictures used properly and to the point, well balanced;
  • for in a person meeting, it is recommended to keep it up to 20 slides, although some experts advise that the ideal would be 10 slides;
  • Alejandro Cremades advises that your pitch deck should last up to 5 minutes, although you should have in mind that in case of certain programs and competitions, donors and organizers set their rules referring to the length of presentation and speech. 

There are different digital tools you can use today to make your presentation clear and easy to digest. The most often used tools are PowerPoint, Canva, Prezi, and Keynote.
