What you’re getting.

What’s in the package?

PowerPoint presentation and template files, a native Keynote file, links to the Google Slides template and Sheets chart workbook, an Excel chart workbook, a PDF preview, and setup instructions.

Where should I start?

Start with the core pitch: company, problem, product, customer benefit, timing, traction, market, business model, acquisition, competition, team, and funding. Swap in alternatives that fit your stage, then remove the slides you do not need.

What can I edit?

Text, shapes, tables, and charts are editable. Replace the fictional company, people, numbers, and images with your own. Photographs are image files. Each PowerPoint chart has embedded data; the separate Excel workbook does not automatically update the deck.

How does Google Slides work?

The setup guide links to the Slides template and its Sheets chart workbook. Make a copy of each, then insert the charts you use from your copied Sheet and choose Link to spreadsheet. Copying a presentation does not automatically redirect its charts to your workbook.

Which apps has it been checked in?

The release was visually reviewed in exports from PowerPoint for Mac, Keynote, and Google Slides. The Google copy-and-relink workflow and chart refresh were tested on separate copies. Chart rendering can vary between apps. Windows PowerPoint has not been tested.

Are fonts included?

No. The deck uses Helvetica Neue Regular and Bold. Use a licensed installation or a consistent substitute, and check line breaks after editing or importing.

Can my team use it for client work?

Yes. The included license covers one purchasing company or one individual buyer. Employees and contractors may use it on that purchaser’s behalf. You can deliver finished client presentations, including editable project decks. You cannot redistribute or resell the reusable template library.

Does $99 include the other decks?

No. This is a one-time purchase of the SDC Startup Deck. The Standard and Consulting decks are sold separately.

How is it different from the other decks?

The Startup Deck follows a fundraising story and includes alternatives for pre-revenue evidence, retention, product evaluation, and funding plans. The Standard Deck covers a broader range of presentations. The Consulting Deck focuses on analysis and client recommendations.
