    The fastest way to kill investor interest? A pitch deck full of fluff.

    ”What VCs Actually Want” in pitch deck

    1. Simple Problem Statement:
    ✓ ”Companies waste 4 hours per week scheduling meetings”
    ✓ ”Online stores lose $50K yearly to fraud”
    ✓ ”Restaurants throw away 30% of fresh produce”
    ✓ ”HR teams spend 6 hours per hire on paperwork”
    = Clear pain, specific numbers

    2. Direct Solution Language:
    ✓ ”We send AI emails to schedule meetings”
    ✓ ”Our software spots fake transactions in 2 seconds”
    ✓ ”Our app connects restaurants with local food banks”
    ✓ ”Our form builder cuts paperwork to 10 minutes”
    = Anyone can understand it

    3. Real Metrics That Matter:
    ✓ ”Processing 10,000 transactions/month”
    ✓ ”40% margins on each sale”
    ✓ ”Growing 20% week over week”
    ✓ ”90% customer retention after 6 months”
    = Numbers that show traction

    4. Clear Revenue Model:
    ✓ ”Charge $299/month per store”
    ✓ ”Take 2% of each transaction”
    ✓ ”Businesses pay $50 per user”
    ✓ ”Annual contracts at $24K each”
    = Simple math anyone can do

    5. Actual Customer Evidence:
    ✓ ”50 paying customers”
    ✓ ”3 enterprise contracts signed”
    ✓ ”Pilots with Nike and Adidas”
    ✓ ”$50K monthly recurring revenue”
    = Real proof, not promises

    What Actually Works?
    ‱ Start with real customer insights, not just your assumptions.
    ‱ Show traction—not potential—through metrics.
    ‱ Simplify the narrative; your deck isn’t a novel.

    Remember:
    ‱ VCs don’t invest in slides. They invest in proof, clarity, and conviction.

    ‱ Does your deck make investors say, “I want to learn more,” or “Next!”?
