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.

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).

A pitch deck should effectively communicate effectively to your potential investors your startup's business plan. 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:
