Common Pitch Deck Mistakes to Avoid

Whether you create your own deck or hire a pitch deck agency, you need to watch out for common mistakes we see that can seriously diminish your chances of getting funded:

► INFORMATION OVERLOAD

A pitch deck is not a business plan. Neither should it read like a comprehensive text-ridden instruction manual. A strong deck highlights, summarizes and directs the audience. It should be easy and effortless for an investor to understand your business, and walk away being able to make an informed investment decision in your company. A well constructed pitch deck does the thinking for you and highlights key, memorable points.

► FOCUSED ON THE WRONG AREAS

A strong pitch deck should quickly showcase several key areas that effectively get you funded. Your pitch deck should hone in on your unique competitive edge, why customers will choose you over competitors, the strengths of your management team including industry experience and past track record of success and commercial potential and profitability that is rooted in hard real-world data.

► FAIL TO ADDRESS INVESTOR OBJECTIONS

Every project or business will raise some serious objections in the mind of any seasoned investor. By addressing them with a contingency plan you build trust will simultaneously eliminating “red flag” doubts. This demonstrates you are aware of your business’ risks and your plan to navigate them.

► TOO VAGUE

A very common error is when a pitchdeck is simply too vague. All images and no text or data. When dealing with large investments, the reader needs details around the project to make an informed decision. In the case of in-person presentations, know that statistically 65% of people are visual learners, which means your presentation should have solid visual support.

► LACKING A SALES PITCH

So many pitch decks I see are all over the map without a clear path for the audience. At the end of the day, your pitch deck is a sales pitch, meaning it should follow a persuasive flow just like any professional sales presentation. This means building interest, elimating doubts, and leaving the audience with a strong sense of urgency to take action with your business.

► FAIL TO ALIGN INTERESTS

An investor is ultimately your future partner. This means you’re your investors’ interests should be clearly understood and met in your pitch deck presentation. This translates into shared goals, values or interests. Your pitch deck should be crafted with this in mind, to show how your objectives and your investors’ align fully.

Key Elements of Good Pitch Deck

Simple & Clear

Benjamin Franklin once famously ended a letter with an apology, “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” This is true for pitch decks as well. Great pitch deck designers work hard to minimize friction, which means boiling down complex businesses so that it’s clear and easy to understand. Our pitch deck design services include multiple rounds of editions to ensure that your idea is clean, simplified and easy to understand no matter the industry.

Persuasive Sales Elements Are Baked In

Ultimately your pitchdeck is a sales tool. Therefore, your deck should include all key sales elements: unique competitive edge, demonstrate social proof and identify objections. Your statistics and forecasts should build trust in business-saavy investors by nailing numbers down to real-world industry data, benchmarks and/or historical performance. Our pitch deck services include persuasive elements in every deck, that engage investors and sells your company’s potential.

Match your pitch deck to your presentation format

Do you plan to email potential investors or do presentations? In many cases, you may need multiple pitch deck versions to match your presentation format. Our pitch deck design services are personalized to ensure you have the correct deck to maximize your chances of securing funding.

Personalized for Your Audience

In many cases your business will pitch to different investor types or investors with varying needs. In these cases, it is recommended to create multiple modified pitch deck versions to align with your audience segments to maximize your chances for success.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

“Do I even need a pitch deck?”

According to the National Venture Capital Association, around 89% of VC’s expect to see a pitch deck for securing financing. So yes, in most cases a pitch deck is the standard practice when seeking investment. That being said, it is important to match the investor’s request. Some investor groups clearly outline what information and format they require, for example with maximum slides and required sections. In other cases, perhaps you have a close relationship with a particular interested investor who only requires a business plan. Reach out to speak with one of our senior pitch deck designers to discuss your situation.

“Do I need multiple pitch deck versions?”

In most cases, a business in need of funding only needs one core deck. However, larger projects often deal with investors from different industry focus or with different objectives. In these cases, it is advantageous to create a modified version in order to maximize your chances of funding success. Our pitch deck design services offer the option for multiple versions.

“Are pitch decks only for funding?”

Absolutely not. A pitch deck is simply a method of presenting core ideas to your audience. Our pitch deck agency helps clients in a variety of scenarios outside of funding, including:

To pitch a project or initiative internally within a company
To secure a key partnership
To secure distribution rights with a manufacturer
Presenting to secure a key partnership
Networking events, conferences or fairs

“How many slides should my pitch deck be?”

As you can imagine, the key to a successful deck is hitting the sweet spot of just the right length. This means ruthless editing out any unnecessary fluff, while retaining all essential elements. While each business is unique, the average start-up deck should have between 10-15 slides. For existing business with more complex intricacies and moving parts, this can increase up to 30 slides. Note that most decks will be accompanied with a business plan that outlines the business in greater detail (note that we also offer business plan writing services).

“What are my chances of success?”

While a quality pitch deck is essential, your success for funding will typically be affected by the following factors:

Your relationship or standing with prospective investor(s)
The strength of your business concept
The strength of your team

“Do you help connect with prospective investors?”

Unfortunately, our pitch deck service does not connect clients to prospective investors at this time.

“What areas of a Pitch Deck do investors most focus??”

A typical deck includes several key areas that are recommended to be included in your pitch deck service. But which areas are most important? According to TechCrunch, investors spend the most time viewing “Financials,” “Team” and “Competition.” At Piston Plans, our pitch deck design services typically include between 10-15 sections, with a strong focus on these key areas.
