Pitch deck

A short presentation that introduces the fund, team and strategy.

It is the first document most LPs read. A strong deck covers the thesis, team, track record, pipeline, terms and process in a few pages, with claims that can be checked.

Why it matters when you raise
Marketing materials are regulated in many places, so every number in your deck should be one you can support.
