We’ve worked with startups to build a wide range of pitch decks, because this is what we do every single day. Some are for advanced rounds, others are for companies just getting started. Over time, that’s given us a deep and diverse portfolio across stages and industries.
In this blog, we’ve curated a selection from that work. These are 7 real pitch deck examples from real companies. Under each one, you’ll find a link to the full case study if you want to see exactly how we built it and the thinking behind it.
In case you're not familiar with us, we're a pitch deck design agency. We can help you by designing your slides and writing your content too.
7 Pitch Deck Examples from Real Startups
Example 1: Series B Pitch Deck for a Cannabis Startup
This example shows how storytelling evolves when you’re no longer proving you exist, but proving you’re worth scaling. At a Series B stage, the narrative shifts from introduction to expansion, more focused, more nuanced, and far less forgiving of fluff. It’s about showing momentum, clarity of direction, and why this is the right time to go bigger.
Here, the story is built around an already established brand, but with a sharper lens on growth. Every section is designed to reinforce scale, traction, and future potential without overexplaining the obvious. It’s a good look at how narrative matures as the stakes get higher and the room gets tougher.
Example 2: Seed Funding Pitch Deck for a Cleantech Startup
In this deck, the narrative and design are built to match the nature of a sustainability-driven business, clear, grounded, and focused on impact. The story doesn’t overreach or overcomplicate. It leans on logic, credibility, and a steady flow that makes the problem and solution feel tangible and real.
The design does the heavy lifting where it matters. Data visualizations simplify complexity, and a restrained, relevant color palette reinforces the brand without screaming for attention. Everything works together to make the message easy to grasp and hard to misinterpret.
Example 3: Sales Pitch Deck for an AI voice authentication solution
This example is a sales deck for an AI voice authentication solution built for high-stakes financial institutions. The narrative is tightly shaped around what decision-makers actually care about, trust, risk, and measurable business impact, without getting lost in technical noise.
We’re including it because the deck stood out, earning strong praise from the audience it was built for.
Example 4: Acquisition Pitch Deck for a Learning Solutions Company
This example is an acquisition pitch deck for a learning solutions company that went on to be successfully acquired. The narrative was split across two decks, a tight teaser to spark interest anonymously, and a detailed version to build conviction once the conversation opened.
The design stays aligned with the brand, but more importantly, it keeps the story clear, structured, and focused on what actually drives a deal forward.
Example 5: Series A Pitch Deck for a Fintech Startup
Here, we were tasked with building a Series A pitch deck for a fintech startup with strong traction already in place. The narrative leans into that momentum, showing proof of success while making a clear case for why this is the moment to scale and be part of something bigger. It’s less about explaining the business and more about reinforcing why it’s worth betting on.
The design mirrors that energy. Bold colors, sharp contrasts, and expressive illustrations give the deck a punchy, confident feel without losing structure. It stays engaging, but never at the cost of clarity, keeping the focus on growth, traction, and what comes next.
Example 6: Seed Funding Pitch Deck for a Fashion Clothing Brand
This is a seed-stage pitch deck for a sustainable fashion brand, built to highlight the market opportunity and present the product line with clarity. The narrative stays focused on category growth, positioning the brand within a space that’s gaining real momentum.
The design leans into a minimal, luxury-driven style. Clean layouts, consistent visual language, and a restrained color palette create a sense of cohesion across slides. It feels polished without overdoing it, letting the product and positioning speak for themselves.
Example 7: Pre-Seed Pitch Deck for an Influencer Platform
An influencer network platform brought us in to build their pre-seed pitch deck from the ground up, shaping both the narrative and the design in close collaboration with the founder. The story is structured to explain the model while keeping it engaging and easy to follow, setting a strong foundation for early-stage conversations.
The design reflects the nature of the business, bold, expressive, and a little glamorous. Gradient color usage adds visual energy without overwhelming the content, creating a distinct look that aligns with the platform’s world while keeping the deck cohesive and clear.
Why Hire Us to Build your Pitch Deck?

It’s a lot of guesswork, a lot of trial and error. And at the end of the day, you’ll be left with a presentation that’s “good enough,” not one that gets results.
