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. 10 ready-made 16:9 slides: cover / title, problem, solution, market (tam/sam/som), product, business model, traction, competition, team, and ask / use of funds. Download it as a PowerPoint .potx or copy it straight into Google Slides.

How Spectrum is built
Every slide has its own background color from a seven-color palette. If you reorder slides, drag the whole slide — the color travels with it, so the sequence still feels intentional.
What's inside

Ten pre-built slides.

The investor-standard 10-slide pitch deck order — Problem before Solution, Market before Product, Ask last. That sequence is what VCs are trained to follow, so re-ordering forces them to do extra work. Replace placeholder text with your numbers and your raise is one Saturday away.

Good to know

Spectrum questions, answered.

What size are the slides?
16:9 widescreen, the standard for laptops, TVs, and modern projectors. If you need 4:3 for an older screen, PowerPoint's Design → Slide Size will convert Spectrum, though you'll want to check the cover afterwards.
Why is the slide order fixed?
It follows the ten-slide sequence investors are trained to read — Problem before Solution, Market before Product, Ask last — the same skeleton behind Sequoia's format and Guy Kawasaki's 10/20/30 rule. Reordering forces the reader to do extra work.
How many of the ten slides should I keep?
All ten for a seed round; investors expect each one. A pre-seed deck can drop Traction if you have none yet and fold Business Model into Product. Don't add — a deck over fifteen slides gets skimmed.
Do I get both the PowerPoint and Google Slides versions of Spectrum?
Yes. This page has both: a .potx download for PowerPoint and a one-click copy for Google Slides. They're the same design and the same 10 slides — pick whichever app you work in, and switch later if you change your mind.
