Your Prompt
prompt.txt
Create a comprehensive investor pitch deck outline for CloudGuard, which is raising a Series A round of $8M. The company is a developer security platform that automates vulnerability detection in CI/CD pipelines with $1.2M ARR, 180 customers, 15% MoM growth. Build the deck following this structure: 1) Cover Slide — Company name, one-line description (under 10 words), logo placement, and the ask amount. Then craft a compelling opening hook slide that presents developers shipping vulnerable code because security tools are too slow and complex as a story that makes investors feel the pain point emotionally. 2) Problem Slide — Define the problem in 3 dimensions: who suffers (persona), how much it costs them ($4.5M average data breach cost for mid-market companies), current workarounds and why they fail, and the market trend making this problem worse. Use a specific anecdote or data point. 3) Solution Slide — Present the product as the inevitable solution: one-sentence value prop, 3 key differentiators vs. alternatives, a screenshot or architecture diagram description, and a customer quote. 4) Market Size — Calculate TAM, SAM, SOM with bottom-up methodology, cite Gartner, IDC, and company survey data for data, show the market growth rate, and explain why timing is right now. 5) Business Model — Revenue model (usage-based SaaS with per-developer seat pricing), unit economics (CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC ratio, payback period), pricing tiers, and expansion revenue strategy. 6) Traction Slide — Present metrics: MRR/ARR growth curve, customer count, retention rate, NPS, key logos, and 15% month-over-month growth with a chart description. 7) Team Slide — Highlight 4 key team members with relevant background, domain expertise, and why this team is uniquely positioned. Include advisors. 8) Use of Funds — Break down the $8M allocation into engineering, sales, marketing, and operations with hiring plan and 18-month runway projection.

What this prompt does

This prompt generates a slide-by-slide investor pitch deck outline tailored to your raise. You give it [company_name], the [funding_round] and [funding_amount] you are raising, a [company_description], and your [traction_metrics], and ChatGPT builds an eight-section outline that follows the narrative arc investors expect: hook, problem, solution, market, model, traction, team, and use of funds. Rather than a generic template, it weaves your specifics into each slide so the story is coherent end to end.

The variables control how the narrative lands. [core_problem] and [problem_cost] shape the problem slide so the pain feels concrete and quantified, [problem_dimensions] sets how many angles to frame it from, and [market_sources] tells it which authorities to cite for TAM/SAM/SOM. [revenue_model], [growth_rate], and [team_size] feed the business-model, traction, and team slides respectively. Because the prompt asks for emotional framing on the opening and a coherent metrics story across slides, the output avoids the common failure of being a flat feature tour.

When to use it

  • You are preparing to raise a round and need a structured starting outline before designing slides.
  • Your existing deck feels like a feature list and you want a narrative arc that builds tension.
  • You need help framing your problem slide so the pain lands emotionally and is backed by a cost figure.
  • You want a defensible TAM/SAM/SOM section built bottom-up with cited sources.
  • You are aligning your traction, business model, and use-of-funds slides into one consistent story.
  • You are coaching a founder and want a slide-by-slide checklist to review their draft against.

Example output

You get a structured outline organized by slide, not a finished deck. Each of the eight sections includes the specific content to put on that slide: the cover and hook with your one-line description, a problem slide framed across [problem_dimensions] with the [problem_cost] figure, a solution slide with three differentiators, a market-sizing slide with bottom-up methodology, unit economics on the business-model slide, a traction curve referencing your [growth_rate], a team slide highlighting [team_size] members, and a use-of-funds breakdown with an 18-month runway plan. It is a writing and design brief you can hand to a designer.

Pro tips

  • Make [traction_metrics] honest and specific — investors scrutinize this slide hardest, and vague numbers undermine the whole deck.
  • Frame [core_problem] as something a person experiences, not an abstract market gap, so the hook slide can carry emotional weight.
  • Provide a real [problem_cost] figure with a source; an unsourced dollar amount reads as invented under diligence.
  • Use [market_sources] you can actually link to in the appendix — the model will name them, but you must back them up.
  • The TAM/SAM/SOM math is a structure, not verified data; replace its estimates with your own bottom-up calculation before presenting.
  • Run the prompt, then pressure-test each slide by asking whether the metrics across the deck tell one story or contradict each other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this prompt design the actual slides?
No, it produces a written outline describing what belongs on each slide, including copy direction and data points. You still need a design tool or designer to turn that outline into finished, branded slides for your pitch.
Will the market-size numbers be accurate?
It provides a bottom-up methodology and structure, but any figures it generates are estimates based on training data, not current research. Replace them with your own calculations and cite `[market_sources]` you can verify before showing investors.
Can I use it for any funding stage?
Yes, the `[funding_round]` and `[funding_amount]` variables adapt the framing, though the eight-slide structure suits seed through Series A best. Later-stage decks may need additional sections like cohort retention and detailed financial models the outline does not generate.
How do I make the problem slide land emotionally?
Fill `[core_problem]` with a specific human situation rather than a market statistic, and provide a concrete `[problem_cost]`. The prompt then frames the pain as a story, which is what makes investors feel it rather than just read it.
