This article has been my go-to reference for pitches as well as most other decks: https://medium.com/the-mission/t...
I basically follow the formula provided there and add my own context in a Notion/Word doc, then I design it in Figma. Then, I start pitching and adjusting with feedback.
I also create two different decks: one for live presentations with more visuals and another for async sharing that includes more text. That way, I'm prepared for both audiences.

@nickjbasile Why do you prefer Figma to other tools? Also thanks for this article - just finished reading it and I might have to borrow this framework!
@dzaitzow I'm a designer, so I spend a lot of time there and I'm comfortable with it 😄
That said, it's just a better tool for decks than something like Google Slides or Powerpoint. There are better rulers, alignment and layout options, text manipulation, animations, reusable components/variables – just about everything you can do in the standard deck tools you can do better in Figma.

@nickjbasile Gotcha - That makes total sense - It's not super intuitive to me but our dev team uses it daily for conceptual stuff so maybe I should give it a little more time!

1. Analyze the best peach decks of other products
2. Make a plan.
3. I make my own slides in Figma
4. I give it to a designer for review, make corrections.
5. I give it to the editor for review, make corrections
6. I give it to the proofreader for review, make corrections
7. Show it to the team, collect feedback
8. Done!
It looks like a very big job, but it's actually done in 1-2 days.
It's said that peach decks shouldn't be big, but mine always turn out really big. They still seem to work well though. Best of luck with making a peach current!

I like to spend most of my time on the problem statement, as it requires me to walk a mile in the audience's shoes. Then the solution turns easier to explain. The next thing I like to do is emphasize my team's achievements, mainly mentioning the enterprise clients we work with.

@geri_mate Your approach to focusing on the problem statement first is really insightful. It makes total sense that once the problem is well understood, explaining the solution becomes much smoother. Thank you!!
Our PM made the pitch deck along with CEO and we were lucky enough to get it seen by the most famous crypto person

I used Google Slides:) before that, of course, a huge market analysis had been made. I'm a PM+Data Scientist, so it wasn't too hard to make our pitch deck up.
Creating a pitch deck usually involves defining the problem, presenting the solution, showcasing the business model, and using tools like PowerPoint or Keynote.

@cynthiag46 Absolutely, you've captured the core elements of a pitch deck perfectly! Defining the problem, presenting your solution, and outlining the business model are all essential steps in creating an effective pitch deck.
