Home / Fundraising & Captable / Investor Pitch Deck

Last updated: 2 October 2026
Investors spend only a few minutes on a first read of a deck. Expertvuw’s team helps founders structure a concise pitch deck — problem, solution, market, traction, business model, team and the ask — with numbers that match the financial model and data room.
A startup pitch deck for angel or venture investors typically runs 10–15 slides: the problem and who has it, your solution and why now, market size (bottom-up where possible), product, traction and key metrics, business model and unit economics, go-to-market, competition and your advantage, team, financial summary, and the funding ask with use of funds and milestones.
Investors test claims against the data room and financial model, so metrics, market sizes and projections in the deck must match. Clear, verifiable traction — revenue, retention, growth and customer evidence — carries more weight than broad statements.
Decks shared with investors should not contain untrue or misleading statements. Startups raising from the public cannot use general solicitation — private fundraising must follow the private placement rules of the Companies Act.
