The first pitch deck that You Exec launched on LinkedIn generated over 1.6 million views and quickly garnered them a following of over 300,000 users. Now, You Exec has launched their Ultimate Pitch Deck. The 53-slide presentation is fully animated, customizable, and elegantly designed. The presentation is available in Microsoft Powerpoint, Apple Keynote, and Google Slides.
The time is now for companies to make their pitch. Venture capital funding in the United States this year is set to reach an all-time high of $128 billion. According to Crunchbase, global funding has already reached $454 billion, with $49 billion invested in Q3 early-stage fundraises.
Pitch decks showcase a product, outline monetization strategies, and introduce organizational capabilities to investors. The value creation component of a successful pitch isn’t just about a company’s intrinsic value but the value it can deliver to a broader community. Ashley Grant, Head of Presentations and Design at You Exec, said, “While pitch decks should always be adequately informative, what sets a great deck apart from any other typical business presentation is its ability to tell a story and elicit emotion from the audience. One key component to achieving that goal is through compelling visuals that are memorable without being overwhelming.”
The Ultimate Pitch Deck provides everything businesses need to excite potential investors and turn an initial conversation into something transformational. To design this deck, You Exec spent the last three years perfecting and fine-tuning the amount of information on each slide. They drew on years of research into the successful pitch decks of hundreds of Silicon Valley startups such as Facebook, AirBnb, Youtube, and Coinbase.

You Exec’s research identified that Silicon Valley investors typically invest $1 million per team member, so long as that team member has a history of success. When Robinhood started, Andressen Horowitz invested $3 million in seed because the venture had one million users pre-registered and two technical co-founders. For this reason, the Ultimate Pitch Deck includes slides devoted to introducing team members and their successes.
Investors also want a business model that can generate billions in value. That is why the downloadable pitch deck has slides to clearly communicate a company’s Total Addressable Market (TAM). The pitch deck also allows companies with physical products to list potential distribution channels where their products will be sold—whether it’s a name-brand store, third-party retailer, or e-commerce website.
The pitch deck can be supplemented with existing You Exec templates such as the pro-forma spreadsheet model, KPI dashboard, video backgrounds, and product mockups. The You Exec pro-forma spreadsheet is specifically designed for startups to show investors they can deliver billions in value within a ten-year period. Investors typically have VC funds that last ten years, so it is critical to show how value can be generated in that time frame.
Whether pitched via an in-person presentation or digital file-sharing, pitch decks are an indispensable tool to raise funds and get valuable support behind a vision. You Exec’s Ultimate Pitch Deck can tell a company’s story in the best possible way and get visionaries closer to the funding they need.
