Whether you’re a startup founder or an SME owner who is looking to attract the right investors, the kind of pitch deck you craft can significantly impact how you set the tone for your company’s funding round and investor relations beyond that phase. If you want to create a pitch deck that actually gets investor attention, simply focus on what matters the most: key financial metrics like ROI, MoM growth, and market size a clear long-term vision backed by a solid business plan, and a compelling narrative that solves a real market problem. Use prototypes or testimonials to validate your idea, and add visual elements (even a dash of humor if you like) to engage investors and make your presentation memorable.

Additionally, don’t forget to highlight your team’s expertise. Investors back people as much as ideas. From my experience building Eskolare and Gringo, I learned that early-stage investors often bet on founders, not just ideas, so highlight your team’s execution ability. Your pitch will evolve, and that’s okay: the first version doesn’t need to be perfect, but it should show traction, adaptability, and a willingness to refine based on feedback. Lastly, make sure your unique brand identity shines through.
