As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create an investor pitch deck for your UK startup.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a document and gather your startup's current product description, customer evidence, revenue records, pricing, team biographies, fundraising objective and use of funds.
   2. Collect links or files for each market figure, competitor claim, customer result and financial number, and label forecasts and assumptions separately from verified facts.
   3. Paste the prompt and your gathered information into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then ask it to produce the slide outline and mark missing evidence as [NEEDS INPUT].
   4. Paste the generated slide copy into a presentation tool, adding only charts, screenshots and logos that you have permission to use and can trace to your source material.
   5. Compare every number, customer statement, competitor claim and forecast in the deck with your records and linked sources, then replace unsupported claims with evidence or remove them.
   6. Ask a founder, finance lead or trusted colleague to challenge the market sizing, financial assumptions, fundraising amount and use of funds before sending the deck to investors.
   7. Send the checked deck only after confirming that confidential information is appropriate for the recipients and that every claim you make can be defended in a follow-up meeting.

   Prompt

   Create an investor pitch deck for my UK startup using only the information I provide below. Do not invent customers, revenue, market figures, competitors, partnerships, forecasts or traction. If information is missing, mark it as [NEEDS INPUT] and tell me exactly what evidence is needed.
   
   Startup: [NAME]
   Product or service: [WHAT IT DOES]
   Customer and problem: [TARGET CUSTOMER AND PAIN]
   Solution and differentiation: [HOW IT WORKS AND WHY IT IS DIFFERENT]
   Business model and pricing: [HOW YOU MAKE MONEY]
   Traction: [USERS, CUSTOMERS, REVENUE, RETENTION OR OTHER VERIFIED EVIDENCE]
   Market evidence: [SOURCES AND FIGURES, WITH LINKS]
   Competitors and alternatives: [NAMES AND SOURCES]
   Go-to-market plan: [HOW YOU WILL REACH CUSTOMERS]
   Financial information: [HISTORICAL FIGURES AND CLEARLY LABELLED ASSUMPTIONS]
   Fundraising: [AMOUNT SOUGHT, INSTRUMENT IF KNOWN, AND USE OF FUNDS]
   Team: [RELEVANT EXPERIENCE]
   Risks and open questions: [KNOWN RISKS]
   Target investor or audience: [WHO WILL READ THIS]
   
   Produce a 10 to 12 slide outline in this order: cover, problem, solution, product, market, business model, traction, competition, go-to-market, team, financial plan, fundraising and use of funds. For each slide provide a clear title, no more than five concise bullets, suggested visual, evidence or source needed, and a speaker note. Separate verified facts from assumptions. Use pounds and UK spelling. Keep the tone direct and specific, avoid hype and avoid unsupported claims. After the outline, list every factual claim, number and forecast that I must check before sending the deck to an investor, followed by five questions whose answers would most improve the deck.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
