Top Pitch Deck Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•
Suggested Core Slide Deck: 15-30 slides (See "The "Best" Pitch Deck Outline")
•
There are no correct # of slides, only key pieces that need to be covered
Typical Deck Variations: 2 min (5 slides), 5 min (10 slides), 10-20 min (15-30 slides)
Keep slides clean, no clutter: ~1-5 bullets/slide, ~5-10 words/bullet and big clear images
Show, Don't Tell: Don't be cocky/braggy/hyperbolic, show AWESOME/AMAZING results!
Show "super simple" images, graphics and diagrams (that need little to no explanation)
Key Takeaways: Concisely summarize main points at the top or bottom of slides
Deck should be simple / clear enough to explain itself and not need you to present it
•
When presenting have add'l info/insight to share with each slide = Your "added value"
• Check for typos / math errors or internal inconsistencies (# widgets on slide A vs. slide B)
Consistent Formatting: Caps vs. lowercase, colors, font type, font size, spacing, etc.
Font Type: Arial (No odd looking letters = Easy to read)
•
•
•
•
•
Font Size: Only use size 20 or larger (Otherwise too hard to read from a distance)
Don't use dashes "-" as bullets, they look negative, use other styled bullets
Add page numbers (Bottom right of page)
Dark backgrounds with light text colors project well (kills printer ink, but who prints?)
•
You can also use white backgrounds with black/dark color font
