Don’t need the founder’s name and contact information here. I do really like the one-liner, I bring more background knowledge to this industry than most but with the information I have, I know that they are providing something of extremely high value as rare heart metals are a significant barrier to the continued growth and scaling of affordable EVs.

I like the two-slide perspective framer. It does help put into perspective the fact that we are still at the inception of electric motors and that there is significant room for improvement and innovation when it comes to motors and batteries.

This is a clear communication of the problem and what is causing it. It also provides an idea of the scope of the problem (financially). Overall, it’s a great problem slide that provides a good level of depth and simplicity.

This deck is a little different as this type of deep tech company tends to combine their solution/product slides. That being said, this is a good slide that both explains the product and relates it back to the problem slide, showing how it solves the primary pain points identified.

This isn’t a slide I would have put here but it does directly aim to show how they are solving the problem, so I don’t mind it. I think for those with less baseline information than me it would be more valuable. If I were advising them, I’d recommend keeping this but moving it back.

Are you looking to grow your business? Here is how I can help:
