Pitch Deck Financials
Pitch deck financials are the three or four slides investors interrogate hardest: unit economics, the revenue build, burn and runway, and use of funds. They must tie back to a model you can open in the meeting — because you will be asked to.
The slide that ends most meetings
It is the revenue projection. If the number was typed in and grown by a percentage, an experienced investor finds out in two questions: where does that come from? and what has to be true for it to happen?
A revenue line derived bottom-up from customers, conversion, price and retention can be argued with. One derived from a growth rate cannot be defended at all.
What you receive
- Bottom-up revenue build from unit economics, not a growth rate
- Unit economics slide - CAC, payback, contribution margin, retention
- Burn and runway with the assumptions visible
- Use of funds tied to the milestone the raise is meant to reach
- Dilution and post-money scenarios at different raise sizes
- The underlying model, so you can answer questions live in the meeting
Use of funds is a test, not a formality
Investors read use of funds to check whether the raise size matches the plan and whether it buys enough runway to hit the next milestone. A raise that funds fourteen months when the milestone needs twenty-four signals the founder has not thought it through.
Who this is for
- Founders raising pre-seed, seed or Series A
- Companies preparing for a demo day or investor committee
- Teams whose deck was returned with questions about the numbers
- Anyone building a data room

Frequently asked questions
- What financial slides should a pitch deck have?
- Typically four: the revenue build, unit economics, burn and runway, and use of funds. Each should tie back to a single model rather than being assembled independently.
- How far out should startup projections go?
- Three to five years, monthly for the first eighteen to twenty-four months. Investors read the near-term monthly detail closely and treat the later years as directional.
- What do investors check first?
- Whether the revenue line is derived or asserted, and whether the runway calculation is honest. Those two answer whether the founder understands their own business.
