For founders

Pitch deck and financial model for founders raising pre-seed to Series B

We build the model first, then write the deck from it. The slide numbers come from the model, so they can't drift apart.

You still get the PDF and an editable PowerPoint. From $1,000.

Why together

Why build the deck and the model together

When the deck and the model come from different people, the numbers often stop matching. The revenue on one slide says one thing and the spreadsheet says another. An investor who spots that starts to doubt the rest.

We build both. The deck reads its numbers from the model, so when a number changes, it changes in both places.

The model

What makes a financial model investor-ready

The question every investor asks is "how did you get this number?" A good model answers it.

Assumptions you can defend

Each driver has a reason written next to it. Where we've had to guess, the guess is labelled.

Scenarios

A base case and a downside case at least, so you can show what happens if sales come in slow.

Statements that tie out

All three statements link to each other, and the balance sheet balances.

A clear use of funds

How much you're raising, and how many months of runway it buys.

Our standard model covers 5 years, monthly for the first 2 years, annual after.

The deck

A pitch deck consultant who builds the model too

A pitch deck consultant who can't build a model has to take your numbers on trust. We're financial modellers first. We write the deck from the numbers, then design it.

You get the deck as a PDF and an editable PowerPoint. With the full Smart Deck, it also sits on one private link next to the model, and reads as a scrolling page on a phone.

Price

Price

From $1,000 for the model, the deck and a one-page teaser, and from $4,000 for the full Smart Deck. Both come with two revision rounds, and the full Smart Deck adds 30 days of support after delivery. See what each package includes and what changes the price.

Questions

Questions founders ask

What if I don't have numbers yet?

That's normal before a seed round. We build the model from what you know, and we label every assumption we add so you can check it and change it.

Can I edit the model after you hand it over?

Yes. The model is your file, in Excel or Google Sheets. Your words, numbers and files are yours.

Do I get a PowerPoint as well?

Yes. You get the deck as a PDF and as an editable PowerPoint. The Smart Deck link is extra, for investors who want to go deeper.

Do you do valuations?

Yes. A valuation and an investor memo come with the full Smart Deck, from $4,000.

How many revisions do I get?

Two revision rounds, on both packages. The full Smart Deck also comes with 30 days of support after delivery.
