The single most important thing you need to accomplish with a seed pitch is clarity of vision. The seed pitch is primarily an exercise in vision casting. Investors aren't looking to scrutinize material progress at this stage (because there isn't much to go on), they are looking to figure out if you are heading in the right direction with an idea that aligns with their investment thesis, and if YOU are the team to execute. That's it.
A seed check is a bet on your potential. Its very forward looking. Small check, big risk. At the seed stage, you aren't likely to have found PMF, and you probably don't have much of a product yet (maybe an alpha version or prototype).
My primary focus when designing a seed deck is make sure the investor can check 3 boxes in 15 minutes:
What's the idea?
Why now?
Why you?
So before we work together, I want you to develop a basic slide outline that drives at these 3 questions. Don't worry about graphics or fancy charts, just clean black text on blank slides will do.
