How to Use This Prompt

1. Include your real metrics — VCs can smell inflated numbers.
2. The problem slide is the most important — if investors don't feel the pain, nothing else matters.
3. Keep each slide to 3-5 bullet points max — the deck supports your story, it doesn't tell it.
4. Practice the full pitch in under 5 minutes — you'll have 15-20 minutes for Q&A.
5. Design the slides in a clean, modern template (Canva, Pitch, or Figma).
6. Send the deck as a PDF, never as an editable file.
