Pitch Deck vs. Investment Teaser
A classic pitch-deck is for presentation-mode. An investment proposal in the form of a teaser deck is for reading-mode.
When making your first impression via email, it is recommended to use this format because it follows a data-centred and proof-oriented style along with the main chapters investors are looking into.
Our teaser deck template covers all essential topics of the fundraising process: Markets & challenges, product and track record, company and team, vision for growth and financials and the investment opportunity.
