01What it is

A seed deck to send before the first meeting. Each slide’s title states its message, and everything else on the slide proves it. The speaker notes on every slide say what investors read there and the two mistakes they see most often.

What’s inside

  • Title and one-liner
  • The problem
  • What we built
  • Why now
  • Traction
  • How we sell
  • Market
  • Competition
  • The AI and the moat
  • Team
  • The plan
  • The ask

Start here. Slides 1, 2, 5, 10 and 12 first (title, problem, traction, team and ask), then the rest.

Blue boxes are yours: overwrite the bracketed text with your own words and numbers. Grey boxes show a worked example for Northlight AI Ltd, a fictional company; delete them once your own content is in. Delete the first slide, which is for you, before you send it.
