Sequoia VC-ready pitch deck
This one’s based on Sequoia Capital’s go-to pitch deck template - aka the deck structure they recommend when you apply to their fund.
Like the Y Combinator version, it’s not an actual startup pitch, but a stripped-back framework built to make founders get to the point fast.
The template pushes you to focus on the essentials: the problem, the market, and the all-important “why now.”
One thing I really like is the Ask slide - Sequoia encourages founders to just say what they need and how they’ll use it. No dancing around numbers. Just a straight-up funding ask with clear intent behind it.
That said, stick too closely to the format and you risk sounding like everyone else. So we took their structure, kept the best parts, and made it work for a modern, interactive pitch.
The deck ends with multiple CTAs - book a call, explore social media, or browse more resources - all right there inside the deck.
It’s a small thing, but it gives your investor a choice in how they engage with your presentation, making it more likely they’ll actually take the next step.
