📣 You just pitched a multi-million dollar business. But your final slide is actively killing your momentum. Founders treat the last layout as a polite goodbye. You paste a generic question mark icon, type your email, and leave it on the screen for the entire Q&A session. That means your final slide sits on the display for 20 minutes. It gets more screen time than your financial model. And it tells the room you have nothing left to sell. I watched a founder make this mistake recently. His core presentation was incredibly sharp. Then the deck ended on a giant "Thank You!" and the energy in the room completely flatlined. We scrapped his goodbye slide that same afternoon. We replaced it with a silent closer. Instead of an email address, we put his $1.5M round size right in the center of the layout. We anchored the left side with his massive MRR growth metric. We added a clean QR code on the right for instant follow-up. When investors started grilling him about customer acquisition the next day, that new slide sat on the screen behind him. It projected traction in absolute silence. Every time the investors looked up, they were forced to stare at his momentum. Your last slide is a billboard. Stop leaving it blank. Open your pitch deck today and delete the "Questions?" slide. Put your strongest numbers back on the screen.
