Demo Day Pitch — 3-Min Founder Pitch

What you get

A 10-slide PowerPoint deck engineered for a live 3-minute demo-day pitch at YC, Techstars, or 500 Global. Every slide carries exactly one idea — no slide tries to do two jobs — so the narrative moves cleanly from hook to problem to traction to ask without losing the room. The included sample content, built around a creator-monetization business model and a 5% take-rate positioning, shows how each slide should feel before you replace it with your own data.

Who it's for

Founders with a confirmed cohort slot who have real traction numbers, a clear raise target, and roughly a week before they stand at a podium. This is a stage tool, not a leave-behind — buy it when you need to capture a room of judges under a countdown clock, not when you need a document to attach to a follow-up email.

What's inside

• Hook-the-Room Headline Slide — one punchy tagline and nothing else, designed to land in the first 15 seconds
• Problem-in-One-Line Slide — single-sentence framing anchored by a blended platform-fee comparison stat
• Solution Screenshot Slide — one product visual placeholder with a single supporting descriptor line
• Traction Stat Slides (two dedicated slides) — headline metrics foregrounded with minimal surrounding copy, structured for verbal delivery
• Market Size Slide — TAM framed as one defensible number with a source placeholder beneath it
• Business Model Slide — take rate, pricing tier, and unit economics on a single screen
• Team Trio Slide — three founder bios, each with role and one credibility line
• Big-Number Ask Slide — raise amount, use-of-funds split, and a close line

How to use it

Open the file directly in PowerPoint or upload it to Google Slides. Swap the placeholder customer name for a real reference, drop in your verified traction figures on the two stat slides, and update the team bios with accurate credentials. Rehearse the stat slides as spoken punches — the visuals set the frame, your delivery provides the proof.
