Nail Your 15 Slide EdTech Pitch with a Template So Good, It Deserves a Gold Star from Investors | Google Slides

So, you’ve built an app that’s going to change education forever, right? But here’s the thing: nobody cares. No one, that is, until you get that pitch deck right.

Trust me, it’s not your idea that’s the issue (despite your overly honest college roommate telling you it sucks). The truth? It’s that you’re trying to convince investors with a PowerPoint that looks like it was created by a half-asleep intern. But don’t sweat it — I’ve got your back.

I’m Viktor, a pitch deck expert and creative business strategist. Over the past 13 years, I’ve helped businesses secure millions of $ in funding thanks to my approach and I’m sharing it here in this pitch deck guide.

I’ve even crafted a few decks that got ghosted by VCs faster than my college crush did, but also a bunch that helped clients raise millions. I’m here to show you how to turn your pitch into one that investors will actually pay attention to — because let’s face it, they’ve seen it all.

Grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine, I’m not judging), and let’s get your pitch deck in shape.

Last Words

Alright, so you’ve stuck with me through this crash course on pitching your EdTech baby. By now, you’ve got all the ingredients to craft a pitch deck that’s not just another snooze-fest PowerPoint, but one that investors will actually stop scrolling LinkedIn to pay attention to.

But remember this — the perfect pitch deck is like the perfect recipe: it’s all about balancing the right flavors. Too much jargon? Investors’ eyes glaze over. Too little detail? They think you’re all hype, no substance. Get it right, though, and your startup is on its way to scaling like TikTok on a Friday night.

So, go ahead, take that template, make it your own, and get those checks rolling in. And hey, if you still feel stuck and want a sanity check before hitting that “Send” button, I’m just a LinkedIn DM away.

Happy pitching — and may your EdTech dreams be funded faster than a teacher can say, “Pop quiz!”

You got this!
