I see hundreds of fundraising decks each year. I’ve been doing this for eight years now, so I’ve been able to see some longitudinal trends during that time.
There are a couple trends that I have noticed emerge over the last few years that I think have become industry standard. The problem is that I think they don’t work and need to be rethought. Not sure if this is going to be true for every investor out there, but this is definitely true for me.
Below are a couple things I’d change, and a proposed structure that I’d recommend for most fundraising decks. This is what I’d recommend for founders that are raising a more mature seed or series A that has at least early signs of Product/Market Fit.
