Venture capitalists (VCs) are known for investing in high-growth startups, but before they can fund the next big thing, they need to raise money themselves. Just as startup founders pitch to Investors for investment, VCs pitch to Limited Partners (LPs) to secure capital for their fund to invest in companies. The key tool required in this process is a well-crafted VC pitch deck.
A strong VC pitch deck helps General Partners (GPs) effectively communicate their fund’s vision, strategy, and potential returns to institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals. In this guide, we’ll break down what goes into a compelling VC pitch deck and provide real-world examples of successful fund decks that have raised billions.
What are VC Fund Pitch Decks?
A VC pitch deck is a presentation used by the General Partners (GPs) of VC firms to secure capital from LPs (Ultra HNIs or Institutions) to invest in a portfolion of startups. It serves as a roadmap for investors, outlining key aspects of the fund’s structure, investment thesis, team, (previous) track record, and potential returns expected at the exit.
GPs use these decks to convince LPs that their fund is worth backing, demonstrating their ability to source, close, and successfully exit investments. A well-structured VC pitch deck can make the difference between securing capital and missing out on potential investors.
What to include in a VC Pitch Deck?
A VC Pitch Deck must include (not limited to):
Fund Overview: A high-level summary of the fund’s focus, size, and mission.
Team Strengths: The background, expertise, and track record of the fund managers.
Track Record: Past investments, exits, mergers, acquisitions, and fund performance metrics (IRR, MOIC, etc.)
Investment Thesis (investment strategy): The fund’s strategy for sourcing and selecting investments i.e. how the fund would be deployed.
Fund Structure: Targeted fund size, min. investment check size, carry & management fees, and other key financial terms.
By including these elements, a VC pitch deck provides potential LPs with a clear understanding of the fund’s objectives and the value it brings.
