Guidance

Congrats! You have made it to the end of your pitch.

It’s helpful to include one final slide before the appendix. Otherwise, the last slide you cover will be displayed as you’re taking questions– this can distract investors.

You should plan on this slide being displayed for a while as the room digests the information and asks follow-up questions. You may need to jump around from slide-to-slide as investors ask specific questions, but it is helpful to have a slide to return to.

There are three basic types of closing slides:

1. Any Questions? - A simple, visually appealing slide that calls for questions.
2. Thanks - A simple, visually appealing slide thanking the room for their time.
3. Recap - A digestible recap of your presentation, hitting the high points.

Examples of each slide type are below. You can’t go wrong with any of them!

Note that it is useful to include contact information on this slide as well.
