Two business operations skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

Investor Pitch Deck

Build a fundraising deck with the right story arc, slide structure, and investor-grade logic.

Proposal Writer

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Write winning business proposals with problem statement, solution, pricing, and timeline.

What each one does

Investor Pitch Deck

  • Generates a complete slide-by-slide structure tailored to your fundraising stage and ask
  • Explains what each slide must prove to an investor and how to avoid common mistakes
  • Focuses on investor-grade logic — retention over signups, unit economics over projections
  • Provides narrative principles that prioritize evidence and traction in the first five slides
  • Includes quality checks to ensure your deck answers real investor questions

Proposal Writer

  • Creates structured proposals with problem statement, solution approach, pricing, and timeline
  • Writes customer-focused 'Understanding Your Situation' sections that prove you listened
  • Breaks down work into phases with clear deliverables and outcomes
  • Includes explicit 'not included' sections to prevent scope disputes
  • Generates professional pricing tables and payment terms
