What Investors Really Want in a Pitch Deck

If you want funding, your pitch deck must speak investor. From market sizing to traction to your capital stack strategy, here’s what turns a “maybe” into a “yes.”

Your pitch deck is your first impression—and sometimes your only shot. But most decks fall flat because they miss what investors truly care about. In this guide, we share exactly what to include, how to design it, and how to align it with the MoonshotNX capital stack.
