Summary

This AI pitch deck generator builds a slide-by-slide outline based on your fundraising stage and sector, not a generic template. Pre-seed decks pull the team slide forward and keep traction light. Series A decks pull traction and unit economics ahead of market size. Fintech, deep tech, and marketplace sectors each add one slide suited to what an analyst checks first. The tool runs entirely in your browser, costs nothing, and the logic reflects common early-stage screening patterns rather than a scored formula.

AI Pitch Deck Generator: Slide Order VCs Screen First

Enter your stage, sector, and traction. Get the slide order and emphasis an early-stage screen actually reads first.

Build your outline

Pitch deck outline generator

Set your stage and sector below. The order changes, not just the labels.

Build your deck outline

Pick your stage and sector. The slide order and emphasis shifts to match what an early-stage screen actually reads first.

    Order and emphasis reflect common early-stage screening patterns, not a scored formula. Treat this as a starting structure, not a template to fill in blindly.

    How it works

    How the outline changes

    Stage sets the order

    Pre-seed pulls the team slide forward and keeps the traction slide light, because there is not much traction yet to defend. Series A pulls traction and unit economics ahead of market size, because retention is the first question in the room.

    Sector adds one slide

    Fintech gets a regulatory and compliance slide. Deep tech gets a why-now-and-moat slide. Marketplaces get a supply and demand liquidity slide, placed right before the ask so it lands as the last piece of evidence.

    No invented benchmarks

    The structure reflects common early-stage screening patterns we see across pre-seed to Series B decks, not a scored formula or a proprietary rubric. You still write every slide yourself, this only sets the order and the emphasis.

    Three inputs

    What goes into the outline

    No account, no upload. Three fields change the whole structure.

    1. 1

      Set your stage

      Pre-seed, seed, Series A, or Series B and later. Stage decides which slide carries the most weight and how much room the traction slide gets.

    2. 2

      Pick your sector

      Six sectors, each adding one slide that a specialist investor checks first: unit economics for SaaS, licensing for fintech, the technical moat for deep tech, growth loops for consumer, liquidity for marketplaces, and the regulatory pathway for healthtech.

    3. 3

      Add your strongest number

      Optional, but one line is usually enough: an MRR figure, a retention rate, a waitlist count. It becomes the headline of the traction slide instead of sitting inside a chart on slide seven where a partner skims past it.

    Common questions

    Is this free to use?
    Yes. It runs in your browser and there is no signup. The only network call is an anonymous tool-run beacon that logs a page view, not your inputs.
    Where does the slide order come from?
    It reflects patterns that show up repeatedly in early-stage screening: the order partners actually flip through in an IC meeting, not a scored formula or one fund's private checklist. Adjust it to your own deal and your own investors.
    Does it save or send my traction number anywhere?
    No. The traction field only changes the text rendered on your screen. Nothing is stored, logged, or transmitted, including the tool-run beacon, which carries no input data at all.
    Can I use this for a non-VC pitch, like a bank loan?
    The structure is built around early-stage venture screening: problem, solution, traction, team, ask. A lender or corporate pitch weighs collateral and cash flow differently, so treat this as a starting point, not a template to copy blindly.
    Why does the team slide move earlier for pre-seed companies?
    With little traction to show yet, the team slide carries more of the case for why this specific group can execute. It moves earlier in the deck at pre-seed and settles into a later position once real traction exists to lead with instead.
    What if my sector is not on the list?
    Pick the closest match. Stage drives most of the order and most of the emphasis; sector only adds one extra slide near the end, so the core structure still holds.
    Does this generate the actual slides?
    No, it generates the outline and the reasoning behind the order, not the design or the visuals. Skywork's Slides agent can turn a structure like this into an actual deck, with sourced data pulled in where the slide calls for it.
    Why does Series A move traction and financials ahead of market size?
    At Series A, the first real question is usually whether the existing customer base is expanding or leaking, not how big the category could theoretically get. Market size still matters, it just answers a later question in the conversation.
    Can I go back and change my inputs after generating an outline?
    Yes. Every field updates the outline live, so you can flip between stages and sectors as many times as you want to see how the emphasis shifts before you commit to a structure.
