I want to warn you that creating a pitch deck will not guarantee anything. It will take a lot of time and effort, and people will tell you a million times to change the deck. Add slides, delete slides, make that slide purple, should be hockeystick revenues, ah no, maybe not, scrap that, where is your financial model? market too big, too small, to salty, whatever. Investors have a million ways to tell you NO. And a pitch deck won't change anything. If they don't like the idea or they think it's not big enough (even if they are totally wrong or clueless), you won't get funded. If you don't have the right connections that can bring the stamp of approval or other social signals investors are looking for, you are going to have a hard time. If the idea is not something that is HOT RIGHT NOW, you probably won't get funded. I'm pretty fed up with reading advice on HN that you just need a good deck and can raise money purely on that deck. Sorry if this comes over as abrasive. I've been there and want to give you the raw story so you can make the right decisions. We never got funded despite having a lot going for us. We wasted valuable time and money on models, decks and what not.
