Pitch decks by stage

What investors want to see changes by funding stage. Here's how to build a pitch that meets them where they are.

Why stage matters

Pitch decks aren't one-size-fits-all. Pre-seed and series A investors are not looking for the same thing. The more aligned your pitch is to your stage, the more likely it lands.

What changes as you move up the stages:

Proof over ideas: Early decks are about clarity. Later decks are about traction and execution.
Risk lens shifts: At pre-seed, investors bet on the team. By series A, they bet on growth mechanics.
Expectations increase: You're not just explaining what you'll build - you're showing how it's already working.

What this page covers

We break down exactly what each stage's pitch needs to include, from investor expectations to must-have slides.

You'll learn:

Which slides matter most at each stage
What level of proof investors expect
How to communicate clarity without fluff

Each section links to a deep-dive landing page:

Angel round pitch deck →

You need to show you've de-risked something—early proof, technical feasibility, or sharp go-to-market instincts.

Pre-seed pitch deck →

You're selling the insight, the team, and why this problem needs solving now. Traction is optional. Clarity is not.

Seed pitch deck →

At this point, you need more than potential. Investors want signals: early metrics, a repeatable GTM plan, and a team that can scale.

Series A pitch deck →

Why it's critical

Investors move fast. A VC scanning your deck gives you 1–2 minutes max. If your story doesn't align with your stage, they move on.

Your job is to:

Surface what they care about now
Prove you understand how funding works
Eliminate fluff and noise

Most founders fail here. Pitchkit helps you get it right.

Built for clarity

Pitchkit gives you:

Templates that match your funding stage
Instant feedback based on investor criteria
Slide-by-slide guidance, examples, and best practices

This is not a design advice. It's investor-aligned narrative building, so you don't just pitch, you convince.

Start building your pitch

Now it's about scaling. Growth curve, retention, unit economics. The story is in the numbers.
