Pitch Deck Structure Tool

Slide-by-slide guidance built for Indian startup fundraising — with India-specific VC tips, must-have content for each slide, and common mistakes to avoid. Covers Seed, Series A, and Series B+.

Fundraising stage:
Slide 1 of 11 — Cover slide 0 of 55 checklist items ready
General pitch tips for India

Keep it to 12–15 slides max

Indian VCs have 30–45 min slots. Every extra slide past 15 reduces time for Q&A, which is where conviction is built.

One idea per slide

If a slide needs a paragraph to explain itself, split it. The best decks have one bold claim per slide that an investor can repeat to their partner.

Send deck 24 hrs before

Indian fund associates prep the partner before meetings. Send your deck the day before so the partner walks in informed — not cold.

Have a data room ready

Sequoia, Accel, and Matrix all do deep DD fast. Have a Google Drive with financials, cap table, MoU/LOIs, and incorporation docs ready on Day 1.
