Investors review dozens of pitch decks every day

Your prompt should help AI create a deck that is clear, specific, and investor-ready. A vague prompt creates a generic deck. A specific prompt creates a useful first draft.


Tip 1: Specify the funding round

Seed, pre-Series A, and Series A decks need different emphasis.

Example:

Create a seed-stage IR deck for a B2B SaaS startup. Focus on problem, early traction, product direction, and why now.


Tip 2: Add traction numbers directly

Do not ask AI to invent traction. Give the actual numbers:

  • Revenue
  • User growth
  • Retention
  • Paid customers
  • Pilot results
  • Partnership status

Example:

Include these traction metrics: 12 paying customers, 18% month-over-month revenue growth, and 3 enterprise pilots.


Tip 3: Name your competitors

A useful competition slide needs real competitors and clear positioning.

Example:

Compare us with Notion, Airtable, and internal spreadsheet workflows. Emphasize automation depth and enterprise onboarding speed.


Tip 4: Explain use of funds by percentage

Investors want to know how the money will be used.

Example:

Use of funds: 45% product development, 35% sales and marketing, 20% operations and hiring.


Tip 5: Choose "investors" as the audience

When setting up the deck, choose an investor audience and a professional tone. This helps MOVO make the structure more decision-oriented.


Tip 6: Use AI editing to create killer slides

After generation, improve the most important slides first:

  • Problem
  • Solution
  • Traction
  • Market
  • Competition
  • Use of funds

Good prompt:

Turn these traction numbers into a clear investor-friendly chart and write a headline that emphasizes growth.
