Building a compelling pitch deck is hard. We decided to change that! Our template features 100+ easy to edit slides, tons of predesigned elements content proposals, and a step by step guide for every slide.
9 months ago, I started to build an extensive benchmark of pitch deck templates for startups...
When all was said and done, BaseTemplate was #1 on the podium. And that's how I initially got in touch with Max.
Last week, Max reached out and asked if I could hunt his 2021 juiced-up template. Of course, I could only say "yes" π
I can confidently say this is the most robust, well-designed, comprehensive pitch deck template for startups out there.
Congrats on Max and the team for pulling it off! π
Great collection guys!! It will definitely save a lot of time and the feature to view the template in different color also helps a lot in terms of visualizing the brand of the product.
Hey lovely people of Product Hunt πβ€οΈ,
It is my pleasure to present to you my last launch of the year. Also, it is a special one for me. I have helped many founders in the last years to build a pitch deck that really impresses investors.
But why am I fascinated by the fundraising process and pitch decks in particular?
About seven years ago I had my first investors meeting and totally failed to nail a great pitch. The pitch deck I created was more of a simple and boring presentation of numbers and assumptions - I had no clue what a great pitch deck would look like.
That is why we decided to build our Pitch Deck Template some time ago. And now we are releasing a new version, that is ready for 2021.
π Proven structure based on the analysis of the most successful pitch decks
π 100+ investor-ready slides
π 300+ pre-built elements & 5 color options
π Easy & Fast to Edit
π Works with Powerpoint, Keynote, and Google Slides
π Free Guide with instructions for every single slide

There's no tone in the text, so I apologize if this comes off harsher than it should. I was a Venture Capitalist for 9 years, have raised capital for three of my own companies, and am now an active part of an angel investment group. With that background, I have a number of comments on this offering.
First. No professional Venture Capitalist, Private Equity firm, or angel investor will turn down an idea based on a crappy slide deck. "failing to nail a great pitch" is being conflated here with a deck and that is just not true. Amateurs in the investment field who say great idea but I'll pass because a slide deck is bad is on them and not you. At All. Not on you,
Second. You need only 4 things: Problem, solution, how big is the market, and who is going to pay for what you are suggesting. Period. If you target an investor who is in your space and you have identified those 4 things, you can make a text-only slide deck of 5 pages or an executive summary sheet that answers those 4 things and roll out. That's what the investment community cares about. What's the problem/solution set against a market size and who will pay for it. Nail that.
Third. Target the right people. Ag Capital invests in agriculture technology in Canada. If you send them the finest slide deck known to mankind about your new AI education business opportunity, it will get turned down after slide one because it is outside the mandate of the fund.
Fourth, there are a lot of decks out there, and a lot of VCs (@bfeld comes to mind) that have created all the content in the world you could use to help refine your pitch/process. And that is additional to hundreds of slides out there that are free as having put out there to give back to the community.
The idea to get inspiration for your own pitch is a good one. The idea to equate a good deck with a good pitch and an edge to get funded is, at best, a very questionable claim.
I would pass on this.
Super great template! Thank you. And what about a mobile version of the Deck? Do you think it make sense to have both desktop and mobile decks for different outreach channels? I know some angels, who prefer to make a quick overview of the project from their phone first. Example β https://pitchdeck.slide.page/.
I'd love to hear your opinion @basetemplates@maximilian_fleitmann@stephnass
Hey @maximilian_fleitmann ! Since I started using you pitch decks, I am rocking every presentation I deliver. Just recently, I won a decent price (virtually) in Munich where I attended an innovation conf. Keep going (& growing)! πͺ =)
