Investor Pitch Deck vs Vendor Evaluation

Investor Pitch Deck

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

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

Vendor Evaluation

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Compare suppliers with weighted scorecards and get a recommendation on who to buy from.

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

Vendor Evaluation

• Creates a weighted scorecard with criteria like functional fit, pricing, implementation difficulty, and vendor stability
• Generates specific questions to ask each vendor about their product, pricing, support, and security
• Scores each vendor against your criteria and calculates a total weighted score
• Delivers a recommendation with the winner, runner-up, key risks, and contract terms to negotiate
• Includes reference check questions to ask existing customers of each vendor
