Weight Loss App Pitch Deck Case Study: From Concept to Compelling Investor Pitch

The weight loss industry is a lucrative market, especially in the United States, where the obesity rate is at an alarming 41% as of 2022. The industry is expected to grow by 2.5%, reaching a valuation of $2.8 billion. However, the rising rates of obesity highlight a significant gap in effective solutions, making it an attractive sector for innovative services like Wizyu.

The Problem

Wizyu faced several challenges in developing their pitch deck:

• Design: The existing design lacked visual appeal and did not effectively convey the brand’s premium service.
• Copy: The text was too technical and failed to connect emotionally with potential investors.
• Research: Insufficient market data and competitor analysis undermined the pitch’s credibility.
• Narrative: The story was fragmented, failing to clearly articulate the unique value proposition.
• Financials: Projections and financial data were presented in a confusing manner, making it difficult for investors to grasp the potential ROI.
• Strategy: The go-to-market strategy was not clearly defined, leaving investors questioning the scalability and feasibility of the business plan.

Our Approach and Solution

Design

Our approach focused on creating a visually compelling deck that captured the essence of Wizyu’s high-touch weight loss service. We incorporated clean, modern design elements with a consistent color scheme and high-quality images to enhance visual appeal.

• Example: The use of infographics to depict market size and growth rates, such as the statistic that 41% of Americans were obese in 2022, made the data more engaging.

Copy

We rewrote the copy to be more engaging and relatable, emphasizing the human element of Wizyu’s service and its impact on customers.

• Example: Highlighting customer testimonials and success stories, such as “Removed 50kg from 10 beta customers,” to add emotional weight and credibility.

Research

We conducted comprehensive market research to provide robust data supporting the pitch. This included detailed competitor analysis and up-to-date industry statistics.

• Example: Including data such as “The weight loss industry is valued at $2.8 billion with a 2.5% growth rate in 2022” to underline market potential.

Narrative

We restructured the narrative to clearly articulate Wizyu’s unique value proposition and its market fit, ensuring a logical flow from problem identification to solution and market opportunity.

• Example: Framing the narrative around the unmet need for high-touch, personalized weight loss services and how Wizyu addresses this gap effectively.

Financials

We simplified the financial projections and made them more intuitive, using charts and graphs to illustrate potential returns and growth milestones clearly.

• Example: Visual representations of financial returns such as “2023 2.5x financial return, 2025 8x financial return” to make the projections more accessible.

Strategy

We detailed a clear and achievable go-to-market strategy, including targeted marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships to drive customer acquisition and retention.

• Example: Outlining a phased strategy for market entry and expansion, starting with a Proof of Concept (PoC) and MVP, leading to a $1M Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
