AI Pitch Deck Narrative Builder
Inspiration: The "Funding Pitch Presentations" service on Fiverr is extremely valuable ($295 - $3,990), which shows that founders need more than just PPT design; they need help constructing a story that persuades investors. Design is the skin, but the narrative is the soul.
Target Customers: First-time fundraising startup founders, entrepreneurs participating in various roadshow competitions.
Pain Points:
- Don't Know Where to Start: Founders know their product inside out, but they don't know how to organize it into an engaging story that follows an investor's logic.
- Lack of Framework: They don't understand what a standard Pitch Deck should include (Problem, Solution, Market, etc.) and what the focus of each section should be.
- Weak Copywriting: They struggle to describe their vision and business in concise, powerful, and convincing language.
Solution (Micro-SaaS): An AI-driven "PPT coach" that doesn't focus on visual design but on helping founders write the core copy and narrative logic for each slide through structured questions and AI suggestions.
MVP Core Features:
- Classic Framework Guidance: Based on the classic 10-12 page Pitch Deck framework promoted by top VCs like Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator.
- Step-by-Step Q&A: For each slide (e.g., "Problem Slide"), the AI asks a series of deep questions to inspire founders' thinking, such as:
- "Who is your target user? Please describe them in detail."
- "How are they currently solving this problem? What are the flaws of the existing solutions?"
- "How painful is this problem for them? Can you quantify it in terms of money or time?"
- AI Copy Generation and Polishing: After founders answer the questions in their own words, the AI integrates these scattered answers into the core bullet points or a refined piece of copy for that slide.
- "Investor's Perspective" Feedback: The AI provides feedback on the user's content, for example: "The market size data here lacks a source, an investor might challenge this." Or, "The phrase 'disrupt the industry' is too vague; try to explain specifically how you will change the workflow."
- Plain Text Export: The final output is a plain text or Markdown file that clearly lists the title and core content of each slide, which users can easily copy into their favorite presentation design tool (Canva, PowerPoint, Pitch.com).
Development Investment (Technical Implementation): Medium. The core is high-quality LLM prompt engineering.
- Large Language Model API Calls:
- Core Functionality: Must use top-tier LLMs like OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo or Anthropic Claude 3 Opus. The success of this product depends entirely on the quality of the AI's questioning, summarization, and feedback. A significant amount of effort needs to be invested in designing prompts that make the AI act like an experienced "VC partner" or "startup mentor."
- Core Technology:
- Structured Flow: The core of the product is a well-designed, linear user experience flow that guides users to build their story slide by slide.
Traffic Acquisition & Validation Strategy (SEO Enhanced):
-
Phase 1: Market Validation
- "Clarify Your Funding Story" Landing Page: Headline: "Don't Just Design Your Pitch Deck. Build Its Story." Emphasize the difference from design tools. Offer a free "problem page" generator where users input their startup idea, and the AI generates a list of 10 sharp questions an investor might ask.
- Ask for Help in YC/Indie Hackers Communities: "I'm building an AI pitch coach to help founders write better narratives. Who wants me to run their idea through it for free and get feedback?"
-
Phase 2: SEO-Driven Traffic Growth
- Keyword Strategy:
- Primary Keywords: "pitch deck builder", "AI pitch deck", "investor pitch deck outline".
- Long-tail Keywords: "sequoia capital pitch deck template breakdown", "how to write the problem slide in a pitch deck", "Y Combinator pitch deck examples", "pitch deck script writer".
- Site Architecture:
- Homepage: The core tool.
- /templates (Template Analysis): SEO core. Create a series of pages that deeply analyze the classic pitch decks of famous companies (like Airbnb, Uber), deconstructing their narrative techniques slide by slide.
- /blog (Blog):
- Founder Interviews: "We asked 10 VCs the #1 mistake founders make in their pitch."
- Writing Guides: "Storytelling for Startups: How to Craft a Narrative That Wins Funding".
- Traffic Growth Flywheel:
- Attract founders with in-depth blog posts analyzing classic pitch decks -> Guide them to use the free AI tool to build their story framework -> Paid access to unlock more in-depth AI feedback, copy polishing, and export functions -> Partner with startup incubators and university entrepreneurship courses.

Potential Competitors & Analysis:
- Main Competitors:
Tome
,Gamma.app
(AI design tools),Canva
(design tool), various PPT template websites. - Competitors' Strengths:
- Excellent Design: Tome and Gamma can generate very beautiful presentations.
- Competitors' Weaknesses:
- Heavy on Design, Light on Narrative: Their core is "AI helps you with layout and graphics," but they offer limited help with the logic and persuasiveness of the content. They don't know your business, so the generated content can be generic.
- Unable to Think Deeply: They can't act like a coach, forcing founders to think deeply about their business core through questioning.
- Our Opportunity:
- Differentiated Positioning: We don't do design; we are a "narrative builder" and "PPT coach." This is a fundamental difference from all visual tools.
- Depth over Breadth: We focus on the extremely vertical field of fundraising pitch decks, providing more profound and insightful advice than generic AI writing tools through high-quality prompt engineering.
- Upstream in the Workflow: We are at the very beginning of the presentation creation process. After users build the skeleton of their story with us, they can go to any design tool they like with a clear mind. We are complementary to, not in competition with, design tools.
