# Pitch Deck Coach A skill for helping founders build, critique, and improve startup pitch decks. ## What this skill does When a founder asks for help with a pitch deck, this skill helps them: 1. **Critique a deck** they have already built 2. **Plan a deck** from scratch based on context they provide 3. **Coach them through** a specific slide they are stuck on Which mode to use depends on what the founder asks for. If they say "review this deck", critique. If they say "help me plan a deck", plan. If they say "I am stuck on the problem slide" or "help me think through the team slide", coach. Always ask the founder for the basics if you do not know them: who the audience is (investors, an accelerator, a customer, a partner), how the deck will be delivered (emailed for someone to read, or pitched live), and how long they have if they are pitching live (1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes). The answers change the deck significantly. See `references/deck-types.md`. --- ## What the reader actually does with the deck Most founders overestimate how much time the reader spends with a deck. The reality: - An emailed investor deck typically gets read in 60 to 120 seconds the first time. If it survives that, it gets read again in more detail. Most decks do not survive. - An accelerator reviewer reads dozens of applications in a sitting. The deck gets the same 60 to 120 seconds.
