An investor update deck from your metrics and notes
DeckDash turns your monthly or quarterly metrics and notes into a short investor update deck: key metrics, highlights, lowlights, cash and runway, and your asks, usually 5 to 8 slides as editable PowerPoint plus PDF in 24 to 48 hours, from $20. We keep the same layout each period so investors can compare updates at a glance.
Last updated
Typical slide outline
- TL;DR: Three lines: the headline, the biggest win, the biggest worry.
- Key metrics: The same 4 to 6 metrics every period, vs last period.
- Highlights: Wins: customers, launches, hires.
- Lowlights: What went wrong and what you're doing about it.
- Product: What shipped and what's next.
- Cash and runway: Cash in the bank, burn and months of runway, from your figures.
- Asks: Specific intros, hires or advice you want from investors.
How many slides?
An investor update deck is short: 5 to 8 slides is typical, which fits Basic (up to 8 slides). The first one sets the template; later updates reuse the layout.
What to send us
- This period's metrics (and last period's for comparison)
- Cash, monthly burn and runway figures
- Your notes on wins, problems and asks
- Your previous update, so we keep the format consistent
Common mistakes we fix
- Changing which metrics you report each time
- Leaving out bad news; investors notice when it surfaces later
- No asks: the update is your best chance to get help
- Long text that should have been a chart
- Unlabelled periods and currencies
Which tier fits
Basic ($20) covers a typical 5 to 8 slide update; Standard ($45) if you want native charts for every metric.
Sample decks for other deck types are on the portfolio page.
Questions about this deck type
Can you reuse the layout next month?
Yes. Send us last month's deck with the new numbers and we keep the same structure.
Do you calculate runway for us?
We show the figures you give us. If you send cash and burn, we can display months of runway as cash ÷ burn and label it as calculated from your numbers.
