Pitch deck cover slide design - StartupStage Blog

Below you'll find my high-level guidance on the cover/title slide of your pitch deck. Scroll to the bottom to jump to a different slide or download our free workbook.

Guidance

Your opening slide sets the tone for the entire pitch. The goal for this slide is to communicate who you are with as few words as possible. Picture this as your Times Square billboard.

Anticipate this slide staying up for a while– It may be on screen during introductions, small talk, waiting for everyone to arrive, etc. Give the room something nice to look at.

Checklist

  • Name of company/logo
  • Brand Colors
  • Who you are in 10 words or less. Communicate the customer (B2B vs. B2C) if possible. Ex. "Customer Intelligence Platform" communicates a B2B business model.
  • Two sentences max
