The Pitch Deck Builder

“What was the moment this product clicked?” — share yours

A startup founder, sales director, or brand marketer who builds presentation decks that matter — investor pitches, sales proposals, quarterly business reviews. They chose Pitch because PowerPoint felt like 2005 and Google Slides felt like giving up on design. Pitch gives them templates that look professional and a collaborative workflow that doesn't require sending a file over email. They spend more time on decks than they'd like to admit. They care more about how those decks look than they'd admit in a meeting.

• →Produce a deck that looks polished enough to carry the argument without a designer
• →Collaborate with teammates on content without the file becoming a mess
• →Track whether the deck is actually being viewed after it's sent

• —Slides that look great in the template and fall apart when they add their actual content
• —Collaboration that still requires a "who has the latest version?" conversation
• —Presenter notes that can't be seen without going into presenter mode
• —The moment a deck needs something the template can't do and they're 2 hours from the meeting

• A bad deck doesn't kill a good idea, but a good deck can save a mediocre pitch
• The deck is read when you're not in the room — it needs to work without the presenter
• Design is table stakes now; the question is whether it's a distraction or an asset

Uses Pitch for investor decks, sales decks, and company all-hands presentations. Collaborates with 1–3 teammates on most decks. Has 8–20 decks in their Pitch workspace. Uses Pitch's analytics to see when a shared deck has been opened and how many slides were viewed. Uses Pitch templates as a starting point and customizes extensively. Has presented from Pitch in a live meeting. Has a brand workspace set up with their fonts and colors. Has exported to PDF for prospects who asked for an attachment.

• →Content-aware layout suggestions that hold when real text replaces placeholder copy
• →remove the "the slide broke when I added the content" problem
• →Real-time co-editing that handles simultaneous edits without conflicts removes
• →the version coordination overhead from collaborative deck builds
• →Deck analytics that show scroll depth and time-per-slide (not just opens)
• →give presenters signal on which parts of the deck are landing vs. being skipped
• →Presenter mode that shows notes without switching views lets speakers reference
• →their notes without the audience seeing them switch

Pairs with `venture-critic` antagonist for pitch practice and stress-testing scenarios. Contrast with `powerpoint-power-user` for the modern vs. legacy presentation tool philosophy. Use with `solo-founder` ux persona for the full pitch preparation and fundraising workflow.
