A 22-slide Series A pitch deck for SaaS and technology startups, designed by an investment and M&A professional who has sat on the investor side of the table. It follows the storyline investors expect: problem, traction, market and model, then the plan and the ask. The example company is fictional and every figure is illustrative, so you can replace the content without starting from a blank slide.
What the deck covers
• Cover and a contents slide
• Four photo section dividers
• Problem with three headline statistics, why now, the solution in three steps, and a product slide with a browser-frame screenshot placeholder
• ARR traction chart with key metrics (customers, net revenue retention, gross margin) and a unit economics panel (ACV, CAC payback, LTV to CAC, burn multiple)
• Customers with logo placeholders and a testimonial, market size (TAM, SAM, SOM built bottom-up) and a competition 2x2
• Business model and pricing tiers, go-to-market motions with conversion metrics, a six-milestone roadmap, team with headshot placeholders, financial plan and the ask with use of funds
• A hidden "make this deck yours in 15 minutes" slide that never appears in Slide Show
Built with real PowerPoint features
• Section Zoom contents: click a tile in Slide Show to fly to any section
• Morph transitions: section numbers glide from each divider into the slide corner
• Chart build animations: ARR bars appear quarter by quarter
• Theme colours and fonts: change the brand colour once and every highlight, chart, icon and number follows
• Picture placeholders for headshots and your product screenshot
• Native, editable charts and vector icons, plus a talk track and edit tips in the speaker notes of every slide
• Six cinematic photos included for use in your deck
How to use it
Keep the slide order, replace the example numbers with your own, and use the speaker notes as your talk track. Each slide title states the takeaway, so investors get your message even when they skim the deck.
Good to know
• Works in PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, 2021 and 2019. Morph and Section Zoom need PowerPoint 2019 or later; older versions show a simple fade.
• 16:9, Georgia and Calibri fonts installed on every Windows and Mac PC.
• Ledgerline is a fictional company and all figures are illustrative. Photos are AI-generated and included for use in your deck.
• This is a presentation template, not investment, legal or financial advice.
