In partnership with
Today, we will look at a Series A deck from Switchboard used to raise $10M.
Always try and have a one-liner on your opening slide, it is wasted real-estate not to use this slide to pitch your company.
This is a great perspective framer; it shows the company's value within the context of larger societal trends. Demonstrating that you are the result of trends that can’t be controlled helps investors feel like this can be a generational opportunity.
This Smart Home Company Has Already Hit $10 Million in Revenue—and It’s Just Getting Started
What if your window shades could do more than just block sunlight?
Meet RYSE, the company transforming everyday window shades into smart, automated devices. With over $10 million in total revenue, 10 granted patents, and products already available in 127 Best Buy locations, RYSE is growing at an incredible pace—200% over the last month, to be exact.
And they’re only getting started. With plans to expand internationally and partnerships with major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s, RYSE is set to become a household name in the rapidly growing smart home market.
Now, you have the chance to invest for just $1.75 per share and join a company poised for explosive growth.
This is a compelling graph showing how the demand and supply of the industry will deviate in the coming years. It clearly demonstrates the problem and opportunity in the market.
For these more “complex” industries educational slides like this are vital for ensuring that investors know where you are adding value and how you can add value. Had the founders just explained a new chemical process, most VCs would struggle to understand how it impacts the industry. This graph solves that problem.
