Fundraising – An overview
In the early stages of a startup when founders are figuring out the Product-Market Fit and trying to hit the escape velocity, fundraising can be a daunting task. Raising investment for attaining growth and scale involves time commitment from founders when they already have their hands full with building the company. Building the pitch deck, financial projections, and reaching out to investors involves strategic planning. Most startup founders in India find it difficult to navigate the ever-evolving Indian VC landscape with:
- Valuating their venture
- Assessing their venture’s investment readiness
- Crafting a winning narrative for their pitch deck
- Accessing credible fundraising experts and legal experts for due diligence
- Finding and connecting with the right investors
- Pitching to Investors
- Negotiating the deal
- Closing the round

The various funding stages:
Seed round (commonly called seed funding): As the name suggests, the company gets ‘seeded’ with the initial funds to conceptualize the business idea and bring it to the market. At this stage, a business may not even have a fully working prototype and could still be working towards developing the product.
Series A: Once the company develops the product or service and begins to gain traction and Product-Market fit, it starts looking out for VCs for the next round of funding, to aid in its early stage of growth.
Series B: By this time, the business would have established a working business model and gained sufficient credibility in its target segment. Now, with the potential to grow further, additional capital would be required to expand operations and reach more customers.
Series C: This round of funding happens when the company has proved its mettle in the industry and is on the lookout for further expansion of the customer base in new markets, targeting acquisitions, and looking at innovation on other types of products. This may also be the last stage in a company’s growth cycle after which it might go for an initial public offer (IPO).

Most venture capitalists, private equity firms, banks, and other financial institutions demand a business plan in one form or the other before scheduling an Investor Committee meeting. A pitch deck needs to be visually attractive with minimal text and at the same time self-explanatory, effectively communicating your startup’s business potential. Investors or prospects spend less than 4 minutes* on a deck.
Some of the key components that go into a well-thought pitch deck are:
- Elevator Pitch – A quick and crisp synopsize of your startup – the problem it is solving

Investment Pitch Deck – an Overview
Entrepreneurs must have a strong investment pitch deck in place before they even consider seeking funding for their businesses. The investment pitch deck is a crucial part of the financing process. It increases the likelihood that they will make a funding by piqueing their interest in your business concept and getting them talking about it.
An investment pitch deck is a business pitch presentation that informs potential investors about your company. The investment pitch deck is also known as a business pitch, investors pitch, or investment business plan. It uses the slides to simply depict the company and its chances of success in order for the investor to comprehend the business potential. Writing a business proposal or investor pitch is in some ways similar to writing a client proposal.
Advantages of Having a Investor Pitch
Convince the Investors
The business pitch is where start-ups showcase their potential for success in an easily understandable presentation that bank executives, private equity investors and others who are interested. Increase the potential investors’ mental clarity.
Equity Funding
If you’re a technologist with deep expertise in building products, but having difficulties in presenting your vision in a way that makes business sense, you will need a business pitch deck to close your funding round. Depending on the need for funding, the investment pitch deck can be updated and modified for various purposes and periods. It also acts as a marketing strategy for the company. An executive summary of the company is given in the investment pitch deck, along with a description of the management goal.
Build the Roadmap
A business pitch deck can serve as an internal memo for the founding team, to set benchmarks and track its progress as a business over a period of time. It is an effective structure for drafting a small business plan. A perfectly drafted Investment pitch deck can assist in adjusting the business goal to particular customers and investors.
