Pitch Deck Templates

Three free founder pitch deck templates in PowerPoint — built on the investor-standard 10-slide structure that VCs actually read: Cover, Problem, Solution, Market, Product, Business Model, Traction, Competition, Team, and Ask. Placeholder text is seed-stage-realistic (ARR, NRR, TAM/SAM/SOM, use of funds) so the file is usable from the first open.

Step 1 · Pick a design

Three takes on the same 10-slide pitch.

Each template uses the standard investor-pitch slide order, so you can pick one based purely on visual tone. Velocity for B2B SaaS, Forge for consumer/lifestyle, Spectrum for design-forward. Downloads are .potx — opens in PowerPoint 2007+, Microsoft 365, and Keynote.

Dark navy field, lime-green accent. Built for B2B SaaS founders — bold typography, big stats, HUD-style headers. Sized for an investor's screen in a dim room.

Forge — Editorial Founder Story
Cream paper, terracotta accent, serif-italic taglines. Made for consumer, lifestyle, and craft-led startups whose pitch reads more like a magazine feature than a finance memo.

Spectrum — Curated Color Per Slide
Each of the 10 slides wears a different background color from a curated palette (navy, sage, marigold, coral, lavender, forest, burgundy). Same layout, ten visual moments — for design-confident founders.

Step 2 · Customize

Make it yours in a Saturday.

  1. Open the downloaded .potx in PowerPoint. The file is a template — double-clicking creates a new untitled presentation based on it, so the original master stays clean.
  2. Replace bracketed placeholders ([Company Name], [customer type], [Photo]) and the example stats with your own numbers. The deck ships with realistic seed-stage figures (ARR, NRR, MoM growth, TAM/SAM/SOM) — swap them rather than starting from zero.
  3. Keep the 10-slide order: Problem comes before Solution, Market before Product, Ask last. That sequence is what investors are trained to follow — re-ordering forces them to do extra work.
  4. For deeper edits to colors or layout grids, View → Slide Master gives you the shared design tokens. Edit once, every slide updates.
