What is a demo day pitch deck?
A demo day pitch deck is the 10-slide structure used by accelerator graduates to pitch to a room of investors in 3 minutes. It is faster, tighter, and more visual than a normal seed deck. Each slide carries one idea.
How long is a demo day pitch?
Three minutes is standard at YC, Techstars, Entrepreneur First, Founders Factory, and Seedcamp demo days. Ten slides at 18 seconds each. Practice it to the second.
What goes on a demo day slide?
One sentence or one big number. The audience can't read paragraphs at 3 metres distance. Use bar charts for traction. Logos for customers. Faces for the team.
What is the ask slide?
Amount raising, post-money valuation, what the raise buys (hires, runway), and how to follow up after demo day. Make it scannable in 3 seconds.
Can I share my demo day deck after the event?
Yes. Send the deck via Beamprobe so you can see which investors revisited it after the event. The follow-up signal predicts who is taking the next meeting.
Keep going.
How do you share your finished deck securely?
Send your finished deck through a per-recipient tracked link. See which slides each investor read, for how long, and on which day. NDA gate, watermark, expiry - all on the £29 Pro plan. UK data residency by default.
