Why this version
Anchor in evals, model strategy, defensibility, and compute economics. Investors want technical specifics.
We've helped clients raise on this structure. It's minimal because investors read 50 a week.
How AI founders use this template.
For AI founders, the deck structure must address technical defensibility, model strategy, eval rigor, and compute economics. "We use AI" isn't a moat. Investors want specifics: what models, what data advantage, what evals. The team slide carries more weight (AI talent is scarce). Vision must be bold but technically credible. Compute economics matter — if your unit economics are worse than competitors, that's a problem.
AI founders-specific gotchas
- Defensibility cannot be "we use frontier models" — that's no moat
- Show real evals with real numbers, even ugly ones
- Team slide: investors check who has shipped production AI
- Compute economics: model gross margin per query
- Vision slide should be specific, not "AI for everything"
An AI founder raises a $5M seed on a 12-slide deck featuring eval scores vs frontier model baselines. The defensibility slide (proprietary data + fine-tuning + evals) is what closes the round.
Common AI founders questions
Should we share our evals publicly?
Yes for top-line numbers; share full eval sets only with serious investors under NDA.
How do we describe our model strategy?
Honestly. Frontier API today, fine-tuned tomorrow, evals as the moat.
