Hey, Vasyl is here, founder of Pitch Deck template. Over the last 3 years I have helped more than 30 startups to get “Visual Power” for their investor decks. During my work I have noticed that because of “money saving mode”, most founders / startup team can’t afford great graphic designers. They’re looking for graphic work help on their pitch deck with a maximum budget of $150, while professional designer will charge $400-$500 for work on 10-15 pitch deck. That’s why I created Pitch Deck - a presentation template that helps founders to create a visually impressive and effective pitch deck quickly and easily. Template has up to 5 different slide layouts in each of the following categories: Title, Problem, Solution, Product, Market, Competition, Traction, Business Model, Acquisition, Milestones, Team, Financials, The Ask and Contact. Tool is fully and easily editable. To create your own pitch deck all you need to do is: 1) have content, 2) PowerPoint on your computer with a basic knowledge of using it. Price for Regular Template is $29, and we will charge $49 if you want to get template with your own color palette. All options include free lifetime updates. We are also offering unique Custom Work for your pitch deck.

This is my first entrepreneurial attempt and I would really appreciate any feedback from you, guys. First 20 people can get our Regular or Custom template for FREE by using the following code: 644601f7f6. To all other folks from HN community we provide 30% off discount with code “HN30".

After a quick glance at your project I have one suggestion regarding the main value of PitchDeck. IMHO the most valuable aspect isn't the visual design of the deck, but the (battle tested I assume) structure to prepare the presentation.

I think that's the point were most people struggle: which content do I need? Which should I omit? What content do i need to produce? How to structure all of this into clear, powerful presentation? After finding the answers for all these questions, comes the time for graphical design, typography etc.

So, your product seems to have a potential to be more a guide than a template. And that's something worth emphasizing. Not to mention, that it opens new possibilities for you to monetize different services.

This. You just described the reason why companies buy from Oracle and SAP. They want the software, but they pay for the knowledge of how it is done properly.
Arek, great ideas to consider! Millions of thanks!
