The urban mobility industry is rapidly expanding, driven by increasing urbanization and the demand for efficient transportation solutions. The global ride-sharing market is projected to reach $218 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.87% from 2019 to 2025. This growth is fueled by the rising need for convenient, cost-effective, and reliable transportation options in urban areas. In this lucrative market, securing funding is highly competitive, necessitating a compelling and well-structured pitch deck.
The Problem
ZRyde, a startup aiming to revolutionize urban mobility in Greater Moncton, faced significant challenges in developing a pitch deck that effectively communicated their value proposition and market potential. The issues were multifaceted:
- Design: Their initial slides lacked visual appeal and failed to engage potential investors.
- Copy: The messaging was inconsistent and did not clearly convey the key benefits of their solution.
- Research: There was insufficient market data to support their claims and projections.
- Narrative: The storyline was disjointed, making it difficult to follow the progression of their pitch.
- Financials: Their financial projections were not presented in a convincing manner.
- Strategy: The go-to-market strategy was not clearly outlined, leaving investors unsure of how ZRyde planned to capture and grow their market share.
Our Approach and Solution
To address these challenges, we adopted a holistic approach that encompassed design, copy, research, narrative, financials, and strategy. Our solution was to create a pitch deck that not only looked professional but also told a compelling story backed by robust data.
Overview of the Work Done
Design
We transformed ZRyde’s pitch deck into a visually appealing document that captured the essence of their brand. Key design elements included:
- Consistent Branding: We used ZRyde’s color palette and typography to create a cohesive look.
- Engaging Visuals: High-quality images and infographics were incorporated to illustrate key points.
- Clean Layouts: Each slide was designed with a clear structure, ensuring information was easy to digest.
Example: We redesigned the “Urban Mobility Challenges” slide to include a visually striking infographic that highlighted the issues of growing urbanization and limited public transport options.
Copy
Our team crafted clear, concise, and compelling copy that effectively communicated ZRyde’s unique selling points. We focused on:
- Value Proposition: Highlighting how ZRyde’s technology-driven platform enhances urban mobility.
- User Benefits: Emphasizing affordability, reliability, and inclusivity.
Example: The revised “Solution: ZRyde’s Revolutionary Service Offerings” slide succinctly explained features like AI-powered route optimization and dynamic pricing, making it clear how these innovations benefit users.

We conducted thorough market research to provide credible data supporting ZRyde’s market potential and competitive advantage. This included:
- Market Size and Growth: Statistical data on the ride-sharing market’s growth and potential.

Example: The “Competitive Analysis” slide was enhanced with data on market trends and a clear comparison chart that positioned ZRyde favorably against traditional taxis and other ride-hailing services.
Narrative
We structured the pitch deck to tell a compelling story from start to finish, focusing on:
- Problem-Solution Fit: Clearly articulating the problem and how ZRyde’s solution addresses it.
- Market Opportunity: Demonstrating the potential for growth and scalability.
Example: The narrative flow from “Urban Mobility Challenges” to “ZRyde’s Opportunities” effectively showcased the need for ZRyde’s services and their potential impact on the community.

Example: The “Projected Revenue and Users” slide was redesigned to include easy-to-read charts that highlighted key financial metrics and growth projections.
