From Runway to Wallet: Secure Capital with the 14 Slide SAF Pitch Deck Template That Investors Can’t Resist | Google Slides

So, here’s the scenario: airlines worldwide are scrambling to meet carbon targets, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the hottest ticket to make it happen. Yet, most of them are struggling to get it into their planes. Why? The supply chain for SAF is, quite frankly, a mess. Traditional fuel logistics? Outdated, slow, and not built for biofuels or sustainability standards.

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.

This template will guide you through building a pitch deck that captures the SAF market’s real potential with a tool that streamlines logistics for efficiency and transparency – because getting SAF from producers to jet engines shouldn’t be this complicated.

Let’s map out how we’re turning this complex supply chain puzzle into a smooth flight path to sustainability.
