Tip: Using Google sign-in is faster and you won't need to verify your email.

2. Setting up your company profile

Your company profile provides the foundation for your pitch. Pitchkit uses this information to generate personalized content, provide relevant suggestions, and tailor AI feedback.

Required Information:

  • Company name and one-line description
  • Industry and business model (SaaS, marketplace, etc.)
  • Current stage (pre-seed, seed, Series A)
  • Target customer and the problem you solve
  • Key traction metrics (revenue, users, growth rate)

Navigate to Company Profile from your dashboard to complete this step.

Tip: The more detail you provide, the better AI-generated content will be. You can always update this information later.

3. Creating your first pitch

Pitchkit offers three ways to create a pitch deck. Choose the approach that fits your style:

The 12 Core Sections

Problem, Solution, Product, Market, Competition, Business Model, Traction, Go-to-Market, Team, Financials, Vision, and Ask. Use Rewrite and Make It Bolder on any section, and request AI analysis at any time. Section templates are optional starting points.

You can switch between modes at any time. See the pitch deck slides guide for what each section should cover. Be specific, lead with the customer, and show traction rather than potential.
