How to create a pitch deck for investors in 2025

Why do I need a pitch deck in 2025?
Competition for investment is more intense than ever. Only a small percentage of companies raising a funding round will be successful. 

Standing out to investors means you need a great pitch deck, that distinguishes you from thousands of other pitches investors receive.

If you're unsure what a pitch deck actually is, start with our guide, here.

How do I create a pitch deck?
At PitchBuilder, we are experts in building fully bespoke, investor-ready pitch decks.

This guide walks you through the steps we recommend to build an investor pitch deck that resonates with investors in 2025. 

The most important advice: use the Sequoia pitch deck template to help you build an effective deck that covers everything an investor might expect to see in your deck. 



You should work through each slide, starting with the problem you solve. 

How do you solve this problem? You should be able to outline the problem and solution in a few succinct sentences. 

As you go, remember, investors don't want to just understand the WHAT of your product, they also want to understand the HOW of your business?

  • How will you reach customers? 
  • How will you compete?
  • How will you make money?
  • How will they get a return?

You don't need to go into extreme detail, but you need to demonstrate tangible, quantifiable answers to those questions.
