The 10 slides every investor deck needs

Over the last decade, the slides that consistently raised have converged on a 10-slot format. It is not a template — it is a narrative spine. Every great deck answers these ten questions in order:

  1. Opening hook. One sentence that names the transformation you bring. Not your company name — the outcome.
  2. Problem. The pain in customer language, with a specific number (hours lost, dollars wasted, error rate).
  3. Solution. Your product in one sentence, plus a screenshot. No architecture diagrams on slide 3.
  4. Market sizing. TAM, SAM, SOM. Show the work. Cite the source. Don't bullshit — VCs spot it in 10 seconds.
  5. Product. The one feature that your 10 best customers cannot live without. Show, don't tell.
  6. Traction. 4 numbers that compound: revenue, growth rate, retention, pipeline. No vanity metrics.
  7. Competition. Comparison table. Your defensibility is one of: data, distribution, speed, or founder insight.
  8. Go-to-market. How you acquire your next 100 customers. Be specific about channel and CAC.
  9. Team. Why this team ships this company now. Two sentences per founder.
  10. Ask. How much, for what, over how long. Specific line items, not "fuel growth".

Slidy's AI generates all 10 slots by default, adapting copy to your round size (pre-seed / seed / Series A) and industry. You can reorder, edit, or drop slides before exporting.

What makes Slidy different from a generic AI presentation maker

Most AI tools produce "a presentation about your topic". That is fine for a book report. It fails for a pitch deck, because investors read decks differently than audiences read presentations. Investors skim for signal: is this team credible, is the market big, is the traction real, is the ask reasonable?

Slidy is the only AI pitch deck tool whose system prompt explicitly encodes the investor-signal hierarchy. Layouts are chosen to emphasize signal: metric-panels for traction, feature-comparisonfor moat, image-showcase for team. Copy length is capped to force founder discipline — a 40-word slide is a rejected slide.

Seed vs Series A — how the deck changes

The 10 slides are the same. What changes is what investors want in each box. Slidy adapts automatically based on your input:

  • Pre-seed: heavier emphasis on problem and team. Traction is optional. The ask is small, the story is big.
  • Seed: product must exist, traction is early (10–100 paying users or $10–$50k MRR signal). The ask is $1–3M.
  • Series A: traction is the entire story. $1M+ ARR, 2–3× YoY growth, clear unit economics. Team is no longer a surprise.

Tell Slidy your round (pre-seed, seed, Series A) in the prompt and the deck rebalances automatically.

What investors actually look for on each slide

  • Hook: is the transformation concrete and non-generic?
  • Problem: would a customer say "yes, exactly this"?
  • Market: is the TAM narrative credible and sourced?
  • Product: can I imagine a customer paying for this?
  • Traction: are the numbers compounding, and are they recent?
  • Competition: is your moat unfakeable and defensible?
  • GTM: is the first channel specific, measurable, and proven somewhere?
  • Team: is the founder-market fit obvious?
  • Ask: does the amount match the milestones?
  • Why-now: is there a platform or regulatory shift only visible to this team?

If you can't answer each of these in one line, your deck is not ready. Slidy gives you the scaffolding — the judgment is still yours.

Pricing that fits fundraising cadence

A fundraise is a burst, not a subscription. You build one deck, iterate it with 3–5 lead-investor revisions, export a few times, then you're done for 12–18 months. Paying $20/month for a tool you used 4 times is a tax on focus.

Slidy is priced for bursts:

  • Generate & preview unlimited drafts — free (up to 2 decks / month).
  • Export final PPTX — €2.99 each.
  • Creator bundle — €9.99 for 5 exports (best for consultants iterating with clients).

No trial, no auto-billing, no "cancel anytime" dark pattern. If you don't export, you don't pay.

Problem → ask in 10 slides

Every deck Slidy generates covers the 10 canonical VC slots: problem, solution, market, product, traction, competition, GTM, team, ask, why-now.

TAM / SAM / SOM built-in

Slidy auto-structures your market sizing into a dedicated metric panel — the one slide every associate screenshots before the partner meeting.

Traction as KPIs, not vanity

The traction slide renders 4 compound metrics (revenue, growth, retention, pipeline). No meaningless download counts.

Competition as a table, not a quadrant

Quadrants lie. Slidy generates a real comparison table with feature rows and three columns (you, Legacy, New). Clear, auditable, credible.

Frequently asked questions

How long is an investor deck generated by Slidy?+
By default, 10 slides. You can request 8–15 for seed rounds or a leave-behind. For a live pitch, we recommend 10–12 slides maximum — investors disengage after slide 12.
Does Slidy work for non-US markets?+
Yes. Slidy generates decks in your input language (French, Spanish, German, Arabic, Portuguese and more). The 10-slide format is the same globally — VCs expect it from Paris to Singapore.
Can I customize the deck after generation?+
Yes. You can edit every slide in Slidy before export, change the theme, reorder slides, or regenerate a single slide with a new prompt. The final PPTX is fully editable in PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides.
What about data rooms and appendix slides?+
Slidy focuses on the main 10-slide deck. For a data room or appendix (financial model, cohort analysis, etc.) we recommend generating those as separate Slidy decks or keeping them in a dedicated spreadsheet linked from the closing slide.
Is Slidy suitable for Series B and beyond?+
Yes, but the 10-slide format weighs less — at Series B+, traction and financial model dominate. You'll likely want to replace the solution slide with a product module overview and add a financial plan slide. Slidy can handle both.
Does Slidy give me slide speaker notes?+
Not yet — we focus on making the slides themselves investor-ready. Speaker notes are on the roadmap.
