Mobility pitch deck guide

Moving people and goods more efficiently

Mobility investors evaluate unit economics at the vehicle or trip level, regulatory exposure, and the network density required for a viable service. Your pitch must show compelling per-trip or per-vehicle economics and a clear strategy for the chicken-and-egg challenge of supply and demand.

Key metrics to know

Cost Per Trip or Per Mile

Fully loaded operating cost to complete one trip or mile.

Benchmark: Must show path to parity or better vs. private car ownership.

Vehicle Utilization Rate

Percentage of time vehicles are actively generating revenue.

Benchmark: Ride-hail: 50-70% utilization is strong; lower means oversupply.

Contribution Margin Per Trip

Revenue minus direct variable costs for each trip.

Benchmark: Positive contribution margin is the baseline for scaling.

Fleet Uptime

Percentage of time vehicles are operational and available.

Benchmark: Target 90%+ uptime; maintenance and charging downtime are key costs.

Net Promoter Score

User satisfaction and likelihood to recommend.

Benchmark: Consumer mobility: 50+ NPS indicates strong retention potential.
