AetherFi: DeFi Series A Pitch Deck Design
Miftah Fahmi
AetherFi slide 01: cover slide Illustrative concept study.
Overview
I designed a 15-slide Series A pitch deck for AetherFi, a self-directed DeFi concept for cross-chain liquidity. The presentation connects transaction friction with a proposed product mechanism and commercial plan. Metrics, projections, partnerships, patent references, regulatory status, and investment terms are illustrative design content.
The Challenge
The deck needed to make infrastructure problems tangible for investors without becoming a technical whitepaper. Transaction failures, gas costs, and slippage required a clear explanation before introducing the proposed solution and business model.
Design Approach
I opened with a failed-versus-successful swap comparison, then introduced the product through a mechanism slide and network imagery. Dark gradient covers frame light analytical pages, with blue accents organizing charts, tables, and timelines. A benchmark table separates validation metrics from comparison data. A competitive matrix, vesting diagram, and execution roadmap give different questions distinct visual structures. The closing financial sequence connects the projection scenario, capital allocation, and proposed terms.

Deliverables
A 15-slide investor presentation covering the problem, product, market timing, modeled validation, defensibility, token model, competition, roadmap, team, financial scenario, and proposed raise. The complete deck demonstrates technical presentation design, investor storytelling, and data visualization within a consistent system.
