Write solution slide
Write the solution slide for my pitch deck. My product is [DESCRIPTION] and it solves [PROBLEM] by [MECHANISM]. Keep it to 3 punchy bullets and a one-sentence headline. Avoid jargon and make it immediately understandable.
Create market opportunity slide

Write ask slide

Present numbers credibly and in the format investors expect.
Build financial projections slide
Help me build the financial projections slide for my pitch deck. Year 1: [REVENUE], Year 2: [REVENUE], Year 3: [REVENUE]. Walk me through how to present these assumptions credibly, what growth drivers to highlight, and how to preempt the "why these numbers" question.
Financial metrics
What financial metrics should I highlight in my pitch deck for [BUSINESS TYPE]? For each metric, explain what it signals to investors and what a strong vs. weak number looks like at my stage.
Create unit economics slide
Create a unit economics slide for [BUSINESS]. Revenue per customer: [AMOUNT]. Cost to acquire: [AMOUNT]. Gross margin: [%]. Lifetime value: [AMOUNT]. Present this in a format that makes the business model look compelling and explain the path to profitability.
Present burn rate
I need to present my burn rate and runway on a pitch deck slide. Monthly burn: [AMOUNT]. Runway: [MONTHS]. How do I frame this to show financial discipline rather than raising concern? What context makes this narrative strong?
Anticipate toughest financial questions
Help me anticipate the toughest financial questions investors will ask about my [BUSINESS MODEL]. For each question, provide the honest answer and then suggest how to frame it most confidently in the pitch itself.
Sharpen the deck and prepare for the room.

Review this pitch deck outline for [COMPANY]: [PASTE OUTLINE OR SLIDE TITLES AND KEY POINTS]. Identify the 3 weakest slides, explain why an investor would be unconvinced by each, and rewrite the core message for each one.
Write speaker notes
I need to write the speaker notes for my pitch deck. Here are my slides: [PASTE SLIDE CONTENT]. For each slide, write 3-4 sentences of spoken narrative that expand on the visual without just reading it aloud. Aim for natural, conversational delivery.
Prepare investor Q&A
Help me prepare for investor Q&A after pitching [COMPANY]. What are the 10 hardest questions I am likely to get, and what is the ideal response to each? Flag any questions where my current position is weak and I need to either fix the business or strengthen the framing.
Write second elevator pitch
Write a 90-second elevator pitch version of my deck for networking situations. Business: [DESCRIPTION]. Traction: [HIGHLIGHTS]. Ask: [WHAT YOU ARE RAISING]. Make it flow naturally as a conversation opener, not a rehearsed speech.
Tailor deck
I am pitching to [INVESTOR TYPE: VC / ANGEL / CORPORATE]. How should I tailor my deck for this audience? What do they care most about, what language resonates, and what should I emphasize or de-emphasize compared to a generic pitch?
Most effective pitch decks are 10-15 slides. Seed decks tend toward the shorter end; Series A and later can go slightly longer. Every slide must earn its place. Gemini can help you identify and cut slides that do not directly advance the investor narrative.
Gemini can draft content for every slide, but the best decks are deeply personal and specific to your company. Use Gemini to structure thinking, generate draft language, and sharpen messaging. Then rewrite in your own voice with your specific data, stories, and conviction.
The problem slide and the team slide are consistently what investors weight most heavily. The problem frame sets up whether they believe the opportunity is real; the team determines whether they believe you can execute. Gemini can help you make both as compelling as possible.
VCs focus on scale, market size, and defensibility. Angels often weight founder story and passion more heavily. Corporate investors prioritize strategic fit. Use the Gemini prompts in the Polish stage to adapt your emphasis based on who is in the room.
Yes, but frame them as a model showing how you think about the business rather than precise forecasts. Show your assumptions clearly and highlight the inputs that matter most. Gemini can help you build a credible 3-year model and anticipate the questions it will generate.
