12-slide investor pitch deck with speaker notes.
Most founder decks are bad in predictable ways: too many words per slide, traction buried on slide 9, no clear ask, generic 'why now'. This tool outputs a 12-slide pitch deck outline structured the way VCs and angels actually read decks — problem and insight first, traction up top if it exists, ask explicit. You get slide-by-slide content (headlines, bullets, what data to include), narrative flow notes, and what to leave out. Not a design tool — you'll still need Pitch, Figma, or Google Slides to make it look good. But the content is what closes meetings, not the gradient. Built for pre-seed and seed founders raising their first or second round.
Brief used: “B2B SaaS, AI tool for legal teams to draft NDAs and basic contracts. $22k MRR, 31 paying customers (mostly small law firms 5-20 lawyers), 7 design partners from Y Combinator alumni network. Raising $1.5M seed to hire 3 engineers and 1 GTM lead. Lead engineer left BigLaw to build this. 14 months in.”
## Slide 1 — Title **Headline:** [CompanyName] **Subhead:** AI-drafted contracts for small law firms **Include:** Founder name, email, raise amount in subtle corner *Avoid:* Stock images, mission statements, taglines. ## Slide 2 — Problem **Headline:** Small law firms bill $400/hr for work AI can do in 90 seconds - 67% of contract drafting at sub-50-lawyer firms is template-based work - Associates spend 11+ hrs/week on NDAs and basic agreements - Firms can't compete with BigLaw on price because junior leverage doesn't scale - Solo and small-firm lawyers are losing clients to legal-tech-enabled competitors *Include:* One specific customer quote with named role. ## Slide 3 — Insight **Headline:** The next 10,000 lawyers won't be associates. They'll be AI agents supervised by partners. - Legal AI works because contracts are 80% pattern, 20% judgment - BigLaw can't adopt fast (conflict, malpractice committees, billable hour incentives) - Small firms have urgency + autonomy to switch *Avoid:* Saying 'we use GPT-4'. Investors assume that. ## Slide 4 — Solution **Headline:** Draft, review, and redline contracts in your firm's voice - Trained on your firm's prior contracts (not generic legal corpus) - Output passes through partner review by default — you're never letting the AI ship - Integrates with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther *Include:* 1 product screenshot, annotated. ## Slide 5 — Why Now **Headline:** State bars approved AI-assisted drafting in 2024-2025 - 34 state bars have issued AI guidance (vs. 4 in 2022) - LLM costs dropped 80% in 18 months — first time unit economics work for $500/mo SaaS - Generational shift: 60% of small-firm partners are now under 50 ## Slide 6 — Market **Headline:** $4.2B opportunity in US small-firm legal tech - TAM: 47,000 US law firms under 50 lawyers x avg $9k/yr legal-tech spend = $4.2B - SAM: 12,000 firms actively shopping AI tooling (per ABA 2025 survey) - SOM: 600 firms in next 24 months at $500/mo = $3.6M ARR *Avoid:* Top-down 'global legal market is $1T' framing. VCs hate it. ## Slide 7 — Traction **Headline:** $22k MRR, 31 paying firms, 200% net revenue retention - 31 paying customers, $710 avg ACV/mo - 7 design partners from YC network actively expanding usage - 14% MoM revenue growth last 6 months - 0 churn in last 4 months *Include:* MRR chart. If chart is ugly, use a table. ## Slide 8 — Business Model **Headline:** $500-2,500/mo per firm. CAC $1,200. LTV $24k. - Tiered by firm size and document volume - CAC payback: 2.4 months - Gross margin: 78% - Annual contracts standard at 2-firm-size tier and up ## Slide 9 — Competition **Headline:** Built for the small firm specifically. Not BigLaw, not generic AI. *Visual:* 2x2 matrix — axes: firm size focus / workflow integration depth. Put yourself top-right. - Harvey: BigLaw, generic - Spellbook: Word add-in, no workflow - Lexis+ AI: Enterprise, expensive - You: Small firm, deep workflow integration ## Slide 10 — Team **Headline:** Built by a lawyer who left BigLaw and an engineer from [credible co] - [Founder 1]: 6 years at [BigLaw], drafted 1,200+ contracts, knows exactly what to automate - [Founder 2]: ML engineer, prior at [credible co] - 3 advisors including [legal-tech founder w/ exit] *Avoid:* Listing every credential. One sharp line each. ## Slide 11 — Roadmap **Headline:** Next 18 months: from contracts to full small-firm OS - Now: NDA + basic contract drafting - 6mo: Litigation support (motion drafting, discovery review) - 12mo: Client intake + matter management AI layer - 18mo: Integration partnerships with Clio/MyCase as default AI ## Slide 12 — Ask **Headline:** Raising $1.5M seed to reach $100k MRR in 18 months - $900k engineering (3 hires) — ship litigation features - $400k GTM (1 hire + paid pilot program) — 200 new firms - $200k runway buffer - Co-leading: [name] | Closing: 8 weeks *Include:* Specific milestones tied to each spend bucket.
Static example — your run uses Claude live on your specific brief.
Pre-seed and seed-stage founders preparing to raise. Strongest fit if you have at least design partners or early revenue. Works for B2B SaaS, consumer, fintech, marketplace. Skip this if you're raising Series A or later — investors at that stage expect deeper financial modeling, cohort analysis, and category positioning that requires a custom deck, not a template. Also not the right tool for a sales pitch deck (use a different framing — sales decks lead with value prop, not problem).
A 12-slide outline with: (1) Title slide — company name, one-line description, contact. (2) Problem — the wedge, with framing for why it's painful enough to pay for. (3) Insight — the non-obvious thing you believe. (4) Solution — what you built. (5) Why Now — the inflection point. (6) Market — TAM/SAM/SOM with realistic numbers. (7) Traction — revenue, users, design partners, LOIs. (8) Business Model — pricing and unit economics. (9) Competition — 2x2 matrix with your wedge. (10) Team — why you, specifically. (11) Roadmap — next 18 months. (12) Ask — amount, use of funds, timeline. Each slide includes: suggested headline, 3-5 bullet content points, what data/visual to include, and common mistakes to avoid.
Bootstrapped to $15k MRR, raising a $750k pre-seed to hire two engineers. Tool outputs a deck that leads with the customer pain you've personally lived, traction front-and-center, and a specific ask with milestone-tied use of funds — not vague 'team and product'.
Strong product, real customers, but every previous version of the deck reads like documentation. Tool reframes problem slide as a story (specific customer, specific pain, specific dollar cost) and pushes technical detail into appendix rather than slide 3.
Marketplace founders often struggle with traction slides because supply and demand growth are separate. Tool outputs a traction slide that splits supply-side and demand-side metrics cleanly and a business model slide showing take-rate logic and path to defensibility.
No. This gives you the content and narrative — what each slide says and why. You still need to design the actual slides in Pitch, Figma, or Google Slides. Most successful seed decks spend 60% effort on content and 40% on design. This tool nails the 60%; you (or a designer) handle the rest. Investing in design before the content is locked is wasted work.
The outline works for both, but slightly differently. For a live presentation, you'll talk through context the slides don't say. For a send-ahead PDF, you may need to add 1-2 more sentences of context per slide so it stands alone. We can output a 'send' version with more prose if you indicate that in your input.
The output adjusts — your traction slide becomes a design-partner/LOI/waitlist slide and the deck leans harder on insight, why-now, and team credibility. Be honest in the input field. A deck that fakes traction with vanity metrics dies in due diligence faster than one that's honest about being early.
Mostly yes, with caveats. Non-tech businesses (services firms, physical product, real estate) often need a different financial slide structure that emphasizes unit economics and cash flow over MRR growth curves. The 12-slide skeleton holds, but slides 7-8 need more custom work for non-SaaS models.
