The prompt

Fill in the [BRACKETS], then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

› the prompt
You're helping me plan the slides for a pitch deck. This is a draft for me to check.

What we offer and who for: [DESCRIBE IT]
Who I'm pitching to: [E.G. LOCAL INVESTORS, A BANK, A PARTNER]
What I'm asking for: [E.G. $50,000 FOR 10%, OR A PARTNERSHIP]
Our team: [WHO AND WHAT THEY BRING]
Real numbers we have: [E.G. CUSTOMERS, SALES, WAITING LIST, OR "NONE YET"]
Our goals: [WHAT THE MONEY OR PARTNERSHIP WILL ACHIEVE]

Please:
1. Suggest 10 to 12 slides in order: the problem, our answer, who it's for, the market, how we make money, progress so far, competitors, team, plans, the ask.
2. For each slide, write a headline and three short points.
3. Mark every slide where I need a real number I haven't given you.
4. Suggest one picture or chart idea per slide.

Rules:
- Use only what I've told you. Don't invent market sizes, sales, customers or forecasts.
- If I have no numbers for a slide, say what I'd need, rather than making them up.
- This is a draft for me to check before I share it with anyone.

Example input

A made-up example of what the brackets might say.

Offer: a mobile bike-repair service for Austin commuters. Pitching to: a local business angel. Asking for: $30,000 for a second van. Team: me (8 years as a bike mechanic) and my partner (runs the bookings). Real numbers: 140 customers in 6 months, $5,200 sales a month. Goals: cover Round Rock too.

Tips

  • Lead with the problem. Investors need to feel it before they care about your answer.
  • Every number on a slide should be one you can show proof for.
