Ron, one of our clients, asked us a simple question while we were working on his pitch deck:
“I came across the Healx pitch deck. At first glance it looks impressive, what do you think of it?”
Our Creative Director replied without hesitation:
“It’s a perfect deck, no doubt in that.”
As a presentation design agency, we work on many pitch decks throughout the year, and in the process, we’ve observed one common challenge: most decks get the design right but miss the narrative, or the other way around. Rarely do we see both working seamlessly together.
So, in this blog, we’ll break down the Healx pitch deck in detail and show you why it works so well.
In case you didn't know, we specialize in only one thing: making presentations. We can help you by designing your slides and writing your content too.
Healx Pitch Deck Breakdown
Here's the Healx Pitch Deck for your reference...
Let’s get this straight from the start. This is what we call a perfect pitch deck. We’ve reviewed plenty of decks in the past few years, but Healx’s is easily among the best we’ve seen. It nails the three essentials that most companies struggle to balance: strong design, sharp visualization, and a flawless narrative. This isn’t just a decent pitch deck, it’s a masterclass in how to present a complex business in a way that feels effortless.
So let’s dive into the nitty gritty of why this deck works so well. With a tight length of 15 slides, it wastes no time. Every slide earns its spot, and nothing feels forced or unnecessary. You can immediately tell this was built with professional precision.
The Opening Slide: Setting the Stage Right
The cover sets the tone immediately. On the top left, you see the Healx logo, clean and modest, doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: establish brand presence without shouting for attention. On the right, middle-aligned, a brand element leads into the message: “Accelerating treatments for rare diseases” followed by the subtitle “AI powered, patient inspired.”
This combination is brilliant for two reasons. First, it communicates exactly what Healx does in less than ten words. Second, the typography is a masterstroke. The variation in font size and weight creates hierarchy, guiding your eyes smoothly from the brand promise to the tagline. Most companies botch this by either cramming too much text or choosing fonts that fight each other. Healx’s team got it exactly right.
This first slide already signals something rare: they respect your attention.
The Problem: Clear, Structured, and Backed by Data
The second slide gets straight into the problem, and it’s one of the best “Problem” slides we’ve seen in pitch decks. Instead of dumping walls of text, it organizes the problem into two clear categories.
Rare disease patients, with stats that highlight the sheer scale of unmet needs.
Pharma companies, who are overly reliant on blockbuster drugs, again backed with supporting numbers.
To top it off, they use line icons and subtle illustrations that reinforce the story visually without distracting from the data. The brand colors are woven in seamlessly, so the deck looks polished and cohesive.
The slide closes with a knockout line: “95% of rare diseases don’t have an approved treatment.” That’s the kind of statement that makes investors sit up. It’s simple, dramatic, and true. It puts the gravity of the issue into one crisp sentence.
Smart Use of Section Breaks: Keeping the Story Moving
This is where most decks lose the room. They overload the audience with too much information, jumping from one block of text to the next. Healx avoids that trap beautifully.
The very next slide is a section break that declares: “Mission is simple: 100 rare disease treatments towards the clinic by 2025.”
It’s bold, ambitious, and it does something crucial: it resets your brain. By breaking the narrative into sections, Healx avoids overwhelming you and instead keeps you hooked. The pacing of the story feels intentional, almost like a well-directed film where every cut matters.
This is why we call it a perfect narrative. Each slide isn’t just content, it’s a carefully placed step in the story.
The Core Concept: AI-Powered Biotech
Once the problem and mission are clear, the deck introduces Healx’s differentiator. The slide titled “AI powered biotech” with the subtitle “Healx repurposes and combines existing drugs using AI to find novel rare disease treatments at scale” is where the company stakes its claim.
What makes this slide stand out isn’t just the text, it’s the visualization. At the center is Healx, surrounded by three circles that represent rare diseases, AI/ML, and repurposing combinations. The design turns what could have been a wordy explanation into a single image that clicks instantly.
Investors love clarity, and this slide delivers it in seconds.
A Brilliant Process Comparison
Next comes one of our favorite slides in the entire deck. Instead of doing the obvious comparison table of “traditional vs. Healx,” they went for something smarter.
The slide shows the traditional drug discovery process in orange and Healx’s drug repurposing process in a greenish shade. Not only does this look clean and modern, but it also plays into color psychology. Orange highlights inefficiency, while green signals progress and growth. These aren’t random choices, they’re almost certainly rooted in the brand palette, and they give the slide an extra layer of impact.
It’s a subtle design decision, but it makes the comparison memorable without overwhelming the viewer.
The Solution: Echoing the Problem
Another thing Healx does brilliantly is design consistency. Their “Solution” slide mirrors the structure of the “Problem” slide. Icons, illustrations, and color schemes tie the two together visually, creating a natural progression in the story.
Too often, decks treat the problem and solution as disconnected chunks. Here, the design bridges them together, almost like two sides of the same coin. It reinforces the narrative flow and makes it easier for the audience to connect the dots.
Explaining HealNet with Simplicity
Now we move into the technical part of the deck: HealNet. This is their AI-powered discovery platform, the heart of their innovation. Normally, slides like these lose the audience. Technical jargon, complex diagrams, and too many acronyms usually leave investors nodding politely while secretly checking their watches.
Healx does the opposite. They dedicate three slides to HealNet, and each one uses simple block diagrams to explain complex concepts clearly. The diagrams break down the workflow into digestible chunks, and the visuals carry the weight instead of paragraphs of text.
This is how you explain science without boring people.
The Therapeutic Pipeline: Showing Progress
After establishing how Healx works, the deck shifts to proof of progress. Two slides are dedicated to their therapeutic pipeline, using progress charts to show where projects currently stand.
This isn’t just filler. It tells the audience: “We aren’t just theorizing, we’re already executing.” The layout is clean, the data is easy to read, and the color-coded visuals make it obvious which stage each project is in. Again, no fluff, just clarity.
The Team and Leadership: Building Trust
A strong pitch deck always includes a team section, but Healx takes it further. They dedicate three slides: one for the team, one for the leadership, and one for the board of directors.
Why does this matter? Because it communicates that the company isn’t just built on an idea, it’s backed by real expertise and governance. The design of these slides is sharp, using professional headshots, balanced layouts, and just enough text to highlight credentials without crowding the slide.
This signals credibility and stability, two things investors are always looking for.
The Closing Slide: Humanizing the Brand
Most decks close with a generic “Thank You” slide or contact information. Healx does something different. They end with a full team image.
It’s unconventional, and we love it. Instead of ending on a cold note, they remind you that this is a group of people working to solve a massive global problem. It makes the deck memorable and relatable. After all, investors aren’t just betting on an idea, they’re betting on the people behind it.
Why The Healx Pitch Deck Works
If we had to summarize why the Healx pitch deck stands out, it’s this: it respects the audience’s attention.
That alone puts it ahead of most decks, but here’s what makes it exceptional:
1. Every slide is intentional
Nothing feels like filler. Each slide either explains the problem, introduces the solution, shows progress, or builds trust in the team. The deck is lean at 15 slides, yet complete.
2. The design is functional, not decorative
Typography, icons, and color choices serve a purpose. The orange vs. green comparison slide is a perfect example of design doing the heavy lifting, not just adding polish.
3. The narrative flows like a story
The progression feels natural: problem, mission, solution, proof, people. It doesn’t jump around or overload. Instead, it builds momentum and keeps you engaged.
4. They end on a human note
Closing with a team photo is unconventional and effective. It makes the company memorable because you leave remembering the people, not just the slides.
That’s what makes the Healx pitch deck perfect. It’s not just information thrown into slides, it’s a crafted story that investors want to follow from start to finish.
