Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso — your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

In your pitch deck, the twelfth slide is the Investment Opportunity slide.

This slide shows the fundraise target and how much is raised so far.

Include interest and committed investors as well as invested funds to date.

Show key terms of the deal.

For convertible notes, show interest rate, discount and cap rate.

For equity deals you can show the pre-money valuation.

I often find stating the valuation in the intro slide draws questions prematurely, so you may save it for a discussion after the presentation.

Also include a pie chart for use of funds to indicate you know what you are going to do with the funds and it makes sense for your stage.

If you’ve raised previous rounds of funding, show what you accomplished with the funds to demonstrate effective use of capital.


Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Let’s go startup something today.
