What are some key elements to include in a pitch deck to attract investor attention in a shorter time frame?

A pitch deck should include the following key elements to attract investor attention in a shorter time frame:

1. Problem: Clearly define the problem your product or service is solving.

2. Solution: Describe your solution to the problem and how it stands out from the competition.

3. Market Size: Provide data on the size of the market you are targeting.

4. Business Model: Explain how you plan to make money.

5. Marketing Strategy: Outline your plan to attract and retain customers.

6. Team: Highlight the experience and qualifications of your team members.

7. Financial Projections: Provide a snapshot of your financial projections and growth strategy.

Remember, investors spend less time reviewing decks, so make sure your pitch deck is concise, visually appealing, and communicates your vision effectively.

Question was asked on:

The average time investors spent reviewing decks was down 10% QOQ in Q2 2020, meaning that when investors chose to review a deck, they spent less time inspecting the information and made their decisions to meet with founders one-on-one faster. Russ Heddleston, DocSend co-founder and CEO, said: "While a lot of VC attention in Q1 was focused on existing portfolio companies, and is therefore reflected in a drop in new Q2 deals and funding amounts, investors have spent their time in Q2 searching for new opportunities," said Heddleston. "We expect this activity from Q2 to translate into more deals during the second half of the year, taking into account the fact that virtual meetings will likely extend the deal cycle."
