The short answer

A strong investor pitch deck tells a clear story in 10 to 15 slides: the problem, your solution, market size, product, traction, business model, go-to-market, competition, team, financials and the funding ask with use of funds. Lead with traction and insight, keep text minimal, and tailor metrics to your stage.
