Zestful Deck Breakdown

Hey Persuaders!

Slide 1: Intro Slide

Clear one-liner with graphics that help to support it.

Slide 2: Product

This isn’t a traditional second slide, but how the product slide is presented mixes it with perspective framers. It’s intended to show both what the product is and how/why it is unique.

The loudest voices in the room aren’t always the best-informed.

Where can you find balanced and informative news without clickbait polarization?

Slide 3: Story

As a pre-seed company, this is a compelling slide. It answers “Why now?”, provides the beginning of a chronological narrative and key customer insights.

Slide 4: Problem/Solution

It’s a unique way of showing the problem and solution in a single slide. It’s clear this is being pitched as more of a vitamin than a painkiller, so quickly going through the problem/solution is a smart strategy.

Slide 6: Growth

Slide 7: Business Plan

Slide 8: Future Path

Slide 9: Team

Slide 10: Ask

Slide 11: Conclusion
