Build an Investor Deck

Estimated time: 60-90 minutes

This workflow builds an investor pitch deck from the ground up. It runs long, so state is saved between steps. The arc is: gather the brief, infer the right story arc for the investor archetype, draft slide-level briefs (what each slide is FOR), expand to full slide content, tighten the narrative, then write speaker notes. Review checkpoints let the user refine briefs, slides, and notes before shipping.

The driving skill for every generative step is pitch-deck, invoked in a different mode at each stage.

Steps

Step 1: Kickoff and Brief (uses: pitch-deck)

Open the workflow and gather the brief. Ask the user for: the company, the round and target size, the investor archetype, current revenue/traction, and any existing deck to build on. Tell the user this takes about 60-90 minutes and that state is saved as you go. Do not proceed until you have enough to characterize the company and the round.

• Input: user-provided company, round + size, investor archetype, revenue/traction, existing deck
• Output: a captured brief block describing the company and the round
• Key focus: get a concrete, specific brief before any generation

Step 2: Infer the Story Arc (uses: pitch-deck)

Using the brief, infer the recommended story arc: the narrative shape that makes this round credible to this specific investor archetype. Present the inferred arc and the reasoning behind it, then let the user confirm or override before building on it.

• Input: the brief from Step 1
• Output: a recommended story arc with reasoning, confirmed or overridden by the user
• Key focus: the arc must be tailored to the investor archetype, not generic

Step 3: Build Slide-Level Briefs (uses: pitch-deck)

Run pitch-deck in slide-level-briefs mode against the brief and the confirmed arc. For each slide, state what the slide is FOR, the argument it carries, and the proof it presents. Show the full set of briefs to the user.
