Pitch Deck Maker

How do I make a startup pitch deck?

Open AnyTool Pitch Deck Maker and build your deck slide by slide along the proven investor sequence every framework agrees on — Sequoia Capital’s 10-slide template, Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule, the Airbnb seed deck and Y Combinator: Title, Problem, Solution, Why Now, Product, Market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), Business Model, Traction, Competition, Go-to-Market, Team, Financials and The Ask. Each slide opens with the key message investors want and a guidance prompt; you write one strong headline and a few bullets (one idea per slide). Toggle and reorder slides, start from a SaaS, marketplace, consumer-app or hardware template, then page through a live 16:9 preview. Export a Markdown outline, print the slides, or download a real .pptx — one slide per deck slide. Everything runs in your browser; your deck is never uploaded.

What is

Pitch deck

A pitch deck is a short slide presentation (usually 10–15 slides) a startup uses to tell its story to investors. The widely agreed structure runs: a title slide with a one-line company purpose, the problem, the solution, why now, the product, the market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), the business model, traction, competition and advantage, the go-to-market plan, the team, the financials and finally the ask — how much you are raising and the use of funds. The discipline is one clear idea per slide, real evidence over buzzwords, and a narrative that moves from a painful problem to a credible raise.

Frequently Asked Questions

The sequence every major framework agrees on — Sequoia Capital’s template, Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule, the Airbnb seed deck and Y Combinator — is: a title slide with a one-line company purpose, the problem, your solution, why now, the product, the market size as TAM/SAM/SOM, the business model, traction, competition and your advantage, the go-to-market plan, the team, the financials, and the ask (how much you are raising and the use of funds). Aim for roughly 10–15 slides with one idea per slide. AnyTool Pitch Deck Maker gives you every slide as a guided editor with the key message and a prompt, and lets you toggle, reorder or start from a SaaS, marketplace, consumer or hardware template.

Title, problem, solution, why now, product, market size, business model, traction, competition, go-to-market, team, financials and the ask — about 10–15 slides.

The Pitch Deck Maker provides the proven slide sequence and a clear prompt for each slide, then assembles your headlines and bullets into deck slides, a Markdown outline and a plain .pptx. It does not design fancy visuals, write your pitch, or invent any traction or financials. Keep it to one idea per slide, use real and defensible numbers — a bottoms-up TAM/SAM/SOM, true metrics and an honest ask — and refine the visuals, charts and screenshots afterwards in Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote or popular design apps. The exported .pptx is intentionally plain so you can brand it in your own template.

No. It gives you the proven structure and a prompt per slide and assembles your content — you supply the story and the real numbers.

The tool exports a genuine PowerPoint .pptx file — one slide per deck slide, with the slide number, section, your headline and bullets — generated on your device with the pptxgenjs library and saved straight to your downloads, with nothing uploaded. You can also copy or download the deck as a Markdown outline or print the slides as a clean 16:9 document. The .pptx is intentionally plain and unbranded so you can open it in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote and drop it into your own template.

Yes. Download a real .pptx with one slide per deck slide (title and bullets), built entirely in your browser.

AnyTool Pitch Deck Maker runs completely client-side. Your company name, problem, traction metrics and financial numbers are processed locally and never sent to a server, logged or stored remotely — even the PowerPoint export is generated on-device. The draft is auto-saved to your browser’s localStorage so a refresh does not lose your work, and you can clear it anytime with Reset. The page works offline once cached, which matters because a fundraising deck is sensitive — here it never leaves your machine.

No. The deck is assembled entirely in your browser and auto-saved only to your own device. Nothing is uploaded.

Detailed Explanation

Methodology

The Proven Investor Slide Sequence

AnyTool Pitch Deck Maker builds a startup deck along the structure every major framework agrees on — Sequoia Capital’s 10-slide template, Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule, the Airbnb seed deck and Y Combinator guidance. The canonical thirteen-slide order is: a title slide with a one-line company purpose, the problem, the solution, why now, the product, the market size as TAM/SAM/SOM, the business model, traction, competition and advantage, the go-to-market plan, the team, the financials and the ask (how much you are raising and the use of funds). Each slide is modelled as an optional unit carrying a type, a heading, the one key message investors want, a guidance prompt, the user’s one-line headline and a few bullets (one idea per line). Slides can be toggled on or off and reordered, and a pure client-side engine assembles both a Markdown outline and render-ready 16:9 slide cards.

Sequence follows Sequoia, Guy Kawasaki, the Airbnb seed deck and Y Combinator
Thirteen slides: title, problem, solution, why now, product, market, model, traction, competition, GTM, team, financials, ask
Each slide has a key message, a guidance prompt, a headline and bullets
Slides are toggleable and reorderable; aim for 10–15, one idea per slide
A pure engine assembles a Markdown outline and 16:9 slide cards

Use Cases

Guided Prompts and Sector Templates

Rather than a blank canvas, each slide opens with a concrete prompt drawn from standard investor guidance: the problem slide asks for who has the pain, how often and what it costs; the market slide asks for a bottoms-up TAM/SAM/SOM with cited sources rather than a top-down “1% of a huge number”; the traction slide insists on real revenue, growth and retention numbers; the business-model slide asks for pricing and unit economics (CAC, LTV, margin, payback); and the ask slide asks for the exact amount, the round and the precise use of funds tied to milestones. Four starter templates — B2B SaaS, marketplace, consumer app and hardware / deep tech — enable and reorder the slides that matter most for each model, and switching a template preserves every slide’s already-typed content. The deck renders live as 16:9 slide cards you can page through and as a Markdown outline; it exports as a downloadable .md outline, a printable 16:9 document, or a real PowerPoint .pptx (one slide per deck slide, title and bullets) generated on-device with the pptxgenjs library.

Prompts mirror investor expectations for each slide
Market prompt asks for a bottoms-up TAM/SAM/SOM with sources
Templates for B2B SaaS, marketplace, consumer app and hardware
Switching a template keeps everything already written
Exports a Markdown outline, a printable deck and a real .pptx

Privacy & Security

Privacy and the Structure-Not-Design Caveat

Because the deck is assembled in the browser, the company name, problem, traction metrics and financial numbers are never uploaded, logged or stored on a server — even the PowerPoint export is generated on-device with pptxgenjs and saved straight to downloads. The draft is auto-saved only to the device’s localStorage so a refresh does not lose work, and the page runs offline once cached. The tool is explicit that it gives the proven structure and a prompt for every slide and assembles the user’s own content — it does not design fancy visuals, write the pitch, or invent any traction or financials. Users are advised to keep one idea per slide, use real and defensible numbers (a bottoms-up TAM/SAM/SOM, true metrics and an honest ask), tell a story from problem to raise, and then refine the visuals, charts and screenshots in Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote or popular design apps; the exported .pptx is intentionally plain and unbranded so it drops into the user’s own template.

No upload, logging or server storage; the .pptx is built on-device
Draft auto-saved locally only; works offline once cached
Gives structure and prompts; does not design visuals, write the pitch or invent numbers
Advises one idea per slide and real, defensible numbers
Exported .pptx is intentionally plain for branding in your own slides app

A privacy-first, 100% client-side startup pitch deck maker that assembles an investor-ready deck entirely in the browser with no server call, no CDN and no upload, so the company name, problem, traction metrics and financial numbers never leave the device and the tool works offline once cached. A pure, unit-testable engine models the deck as an ordered list of optional slides, each carrying a type, a heading, the one key message investors want, a helpful guidance prompt, the user’s one-line headline and a few bullets with one idea per line, and provides the slide sequence every major framework agrees on — Sequoia Capital’s 10-slide template, Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule, the Airbnb seed deck and Y Combinator guidance: a title slide with a one-line company purpose, the problem, the solution, why now, the product, the market size as TAM/SAM/SOM, the business model, traction, competition and advantage, the go-to-market plan, the team, the financials and the ask covering how much is being raised and the precise use of funds. Each slide opens with a concrete prompt drawn from standard investor guidance — the problem slide asks who has the pain, how often and what it costs; the market slide asks for a bottoms-up TAM/SAM/SOM with cited sources rather than a top-down percentage of a huge number; the business-model slide asks for pricing and unit economics such as CAC, LTV, gross margin and payback; the traction slide insists on real revenue, growth and retention; and the ask slide asks for the exact amount, the round and the use of funds tied to milestones and runway. Four starter templates — B2B SaaS, marketplace, consumer app and hardware or deep tech — enable and reorder the slides that matter most for each model, slides can be toggled on or off and reordered, and switching a template preserves every slide’s already-typed content. A single assembly function emits a Markdown outline (a title block with the company, tagline and sector followed by each enabled slide as a numbered heading with its bold headline and bullets) and render-ready 16:9 slide cards that the page shows in a live preview the user can page through, alongside an outline view rendered to read-only HTML locally with the marked library. The deck can be copied, downloaded as a .md outline, printed as a clean 16:9 document, or exported as a genuine PowerPoint .pptx — one slide per deck slide with the slide number, section kicker, headline and bullets — generated on-device with the pptxgenjs library and lazy-imported so nothing is uploaded; the draft is auto-saved to the browser’s localStorage so a refresh never loses work and can be cleared with a reset. The page is explicit and honest that it gives the proven structure and prompts and assembles the user’s own content rather than designing fancy visuals, writing the pitch, or inventing any traction or financials, advising the user to keep one idea per slide, use real and defensible numbers including a bottoms-up TAM/SAM/SOM, true metrics and an honest ask, tell a story from a painful problem to a credible raise, and then refine the visuals, charts and screenshots in Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote or popular design apps, with the exported .pptx intentionally plain and unbranded so it drops straight into the user’s own template.
