Do you need a summary slide?
Yes, if you’d like to avoid wasting time on investors that would never invest because your company is at the wrong stage.
A summary slide is meant to tick the investor’s box.
Make them say, “Yes, this startup fits with our investment thesis.”
You’ll want a summary slide that includes:
🔹 The industry
🔹 Business model
🔹 Mission or vision
🔹 One-liner summary of your business
🔹 The amount you are targeting to raise
🔹 Any major milestones or traction metrics
🔹 General stage & funding stage of the company
You don’t need to go into much detail in the slide.
But it should help investors decide quickly if it’s a good fit or not.
And ensuring that everyone is on the same page makes the storytelling part of your pitch way easier.
