Read the full prompt
Help outline a pitch for [STARTUP IDEA] aimed at [AUDIENCE]. Verified evidence: [CUSTOMER RESEARCH, PRODUCT STATUS, METRICS AND SOURCES]. Explain the problem, solution, customer, business model, alternatives, progress, team and request. Choose only useful slides. Separate measured traction, assumptions and future plans. Show calculations behind any market or financial scenario and leave unsupported numbers unknown. Do not invent customers, endorsements, credentials or affiliation with an accelerator.
Decide what the pitch is asking for
A customer demo, a pilot proposal and a funding conversation need different evidence. Tell the prompt who will see the deck and what decision you want them to make.
Example: appointment reminders for a salon
Use a fictional early-stage project with a working prototype and five customer interviews, but no paying users. Ask for a pilot pitch explaining missed appointments, the reminder flow and what the pilot will measure. The progress slide should say “prototype and interviews,” not “proven product-market fit.”
For a pilot request, specify the number of locations, intended duration and support needed. Mark interview findings as supplied notes rather than broad market facts.
Check every claim on the slides
Keep customer counts, time periods and definitions consistent. A potential customer is not a paying customer; a forecast is not revenue. Show sources for market figures and explain the assumptions behind any bottom-up estimate. Remove decorative charts with invented data. Rehearse the story aloud and keep detailed calculations in supporting notes.
