How SaaS founders use this template.
For SaaS founders pitching at seed and Series A, the deck structure investors expect is: hook → problem → solution → market size → traction (with cohort retention curves) → business model → competition → team → vision → ask. Cohort retention is the single most important slide for SaaS — it tells investors whether you have product-market fit. Net revenue retention (NRR) matters at Series A and later. Gross margin matters always.
SaaS founders-specific gotchas
- Hide nothing on cohort retention — investors check this first
- NRR over 110% is good; over 130% is exceptional
- CAC payback under 12 months is healthy at Series A
- Mix model and traction slides — don't leave them disconnected
- Vision slide should be ambitious but credible
