Create a Pitch Deck in 5 Minutes: Complete Guide

Need to create a pitch deck fast? With deckster's AI agents, you can go from idea to polished presentation in just 5 minutes.

What Investors Look For

Before we dive in, remember that investors want to see:

  1. Clear problem and solution
  2. Market opportunity
  3. Traction and metrics
  4. Strong team
  5. Funding ask and use of funds

The 5-Minute Process

Step 1: Describe Your Startup (1 minute)

Open deckster and tell the AI about your startup. Include:

  • What problem you're solving
  • Your solution
  • Target market
  • Current traction
  • Team background

Step 2: AI Generates Structure (2 minutes)

The Director agent creates the pitch deck structure while other agents fill in content, design slides, and create charts.

Step 3: Review and Refine (2 minutes)

Quickly review each slide. Make any necessary edits by clicking directly on text or asking agents for changes.

The 10 Essential Slides

  1. Hook - Compelling opening
  2. Problem - Pain point you're addressing
  3. Solution - Your product/service
  4. Market - Size and opportunity
  5. Product - Demo or screenshots
  6. Traction - Metrics and growth
  7. Business Model - How you make money
  8. Competition - Your unique advantage
  9. Team - Why you'll succeed
  10. Ask - Funding amount and use

Pro Tips

Be Specific: Instead of "We're building a SaaS platform," say "We're building a $29/month scheduling tool for dental practices."

Include Numbers: Metrics help AI create better charts and validate your traction.

Mention Your Team: The Scripter will highlight relevant experience that builds credibility.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Too much text on slides ❌ Unclear problem/solution fit ❌ Missing financials ❌ Weak team slide ❌ Vague funding ask

Before sending to investors:

  • Problem clearly stated
