A startup’s origin story is crucial. It includes the issues they address, the recommendations made, the victories achieved, the objectives they have for the future, and the plans they have to achieve those objectives.<\/p>\n

It’s the real reason we say that stories are significant.<\/p>\n

However, there are countless ways to convey the story of a startup. Founders are urged to have several iterations of their pitch deck, in particular.<\/p>\n

But the majority of entrepreneurs find themselves asking two queries:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How many revisions are necessary?<\/li>\n
  2. How do these variations appear?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A quick Google search will turn up a variety of investors’, consultants’, and business people’s perspectives. However, these viewpoints frequently conflict with one another, making it challenging for the typical founder to obtain specific and reliable responses to crucial questions.<\/p>\n

    We set out on a quest for more clarity in our effort to assist founders in building pitch decks that secure funding. We gathered investor opinions and quantitatively analyzed them in search of trustworthy solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Online, there are 21 investor opinions on the need for different pitch decks.<\/h5>\t\t\t

    Discussing methodology; we started by searching the internet for articles about different pitch decks. We checked the credentials of the authors of the sources we discovered, eliminated consulting firm opinions, and only kept investor opinions.<\/p>\n

    We gathered a total of 21 resources from venture capitalists and investment companies. Posts on blogs, articles, and books were used as resources. <\/p>\n

    We discovered during our research that the majority of investors referred to different pitch deck versions by different names. <\/p>\n

    We standardized their viewpoints based on mutual function and common language to prevent misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

    Let’s get to the data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Investors recommended a total of five different iterations, but only two or three were crucial.<\/h5>\t\t\t

    Investors suggested the following five categories for pitch decks:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The version in Length: Presenting Only<\/li>\n
    • Emailing and Reading Only, Long Version<\/li>\n
    • Only Emailing and Reading, in Brief<\/li>\n
    • Summary: Pitch Competition Only<\/li>\n
    • Multiple Versions, Multiple Channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      According to our quick research, all of the investors and investment firms concur that founders should have two different pitch decks: a “long version” and a “short version.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t
      So, how many versions of a pitch deck do investors recommend?<\/h5>\t\t\t

      At least two, but the three most popular advices were as follows:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Long Version for Presenting Only<\/li>\n
      • An extended version for reading and emailing only<\/li>\n
      • A condensed version for reading and emailing only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
