Tips

  1. 01Put the headline number in the first two slides, not the last.
  2. 02Report the same KPIs every month so investors can spot trends.
  3. 03Name the lowlights plainly. Investors trust founders who share bad news early.
  4. 04Always show burn and runway, even when the cash position is strong.
  5. 05End with specific asks: named intros, roles to fill, advice on one decision.
