Create polished, investor-facing business plan / fundraising presentation decks, following a proven professional template style.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- The user needs to create a pitch deck or business plan presentation for investors
- The user needs to generate company overview slides including market analysis and financial projections
- The user mentions needs such as startup fundraising, investment memorandum presentations, etc.
- The user needs fundraising pitch materials in the style of Chinese startups (navy blue + white background)
Do NOT use this skill if:
- The user only needs a BP outline rather than an editable PPT → use
fundraising-bp-plannerinstead - The user needs to generate a standard 10-page PPTX from structured JSON → use
pitch-deck-creatorinstead - The user needs to convert an existing PPT into web page HTML → use
deck-web-converterinstead - The user needs a specific narrative framework (Sequoia/YC/Raskin) → use the corresponding framework skill
Typical triggers:
- "Help me make a fundraising PPT", "How to make a business plan", "Pitch materials"
- "pitch deck PPT", "business plan presentation", "investor deck"
Workflow
This workflow follows a six-step progression method, with a total of 6 steps:
- Probe: Before starting, fully read all inputs to confirm the goals and constraints.
- Constrain: Verify input completeness, set boundaries and non-degradable delivery standards, and switch channels when blocked.
- Evidence: Every number must come from the input, a specific source, or reproducible calculation; collect supporting data.
- Execute: Call scripts/APIs/generate content; give impacts and conclusions first, then actions and necessary evidence.
- Verify: Verify with actions that "could fail"—read back the output in a way different from the generation path.
- Deliver: Return the results and clean up temporary files.
Step 1: Probe
Fully read all inputs provided by the user (company introduction, existing documents, reference PDFs, etc.), and confirm the goals and constraints:
- Company name, logo, tagline
- Industry/track
- Funding round and target amount
- Key metrics (revenue, growth rate, profit margin, team size, number of patents)
- Product/service description + images (if any)
- Competitive landscape (3-5 peers)
- Financial projections (3-5 years)
- Team introduction + photos
- Market size/TAM data
If the user provides a text introduction or existing documents, extract the above information from them.
Step 2: Constrain
Verify input completeness, set boundaries and non-degradable delivery standards:
- Default outputPPTX(editable presentation); when the user explicitly specifies a format, use that format
- When the user asks for a "shareable"/"final" version, PDF can also be provided
- All content pages use a white background (
#FFFFFF), never use a dark background - The primary color is navy blue
#1B3A6B; green is used only for secondary data series in charts - The reference template uses a flat structure, with no transition pages between the main sections.no transition pages, do not add section divider pages.
- When blocked, switch channels; do not downgrade deliverables.
Step 3: Evidence
Every number must come from the input, a specific source, or a reproducible calculation:
- Market size data must cite its source (industry reports, public data; self-calculated figures must state assumptions)
- Financial projections must be based on user-provided data or explicitly labeled as assumptions
- Competitor information in the competitive landscape must be verifiable
- Collect supporting data; do not fabricate traction, market size, customer evidence, or team background
Step 4: Execute
Call scripts/generate content; give impact and conclusions first, then actions and necessary evidence.
Plan the slide structure
Map the user's content to the standard section flow. Read references/structure_contract.md for the complete hierarchy and layout patterns. The default 14-section flow is as follows:
- Cover — Company logo + investor branding + impactful visual
- Investment Highlights — 6-grid display of core selling points
- Market Opportunity — Market size chart + growth logic
- Industry Landscape — Competitor map/peer comparison
- Company Positioning — Strategic pillars/value proposition
- Core Competitiveness — Advantage matrix
- Product Portfolio — Product overview + technical architecture
- Technical Differentiation — Technology roadmap comparison + parameter table
- Team Introduction — Founder + core team + advisory board
- Growth Projections — Revenue/order projection charts
- Vision/Roadmap — Multi-stage strategic planning
- Financing Plan — Financing needs + allocation of funds
- Appendix — Supporting data, product images, detailed comparisons
- Disclaimer — Legal statement + contact information
Adaptation Rules: Skip sections for which the user has no relevant content. If the total number of slides exceeds 20, closely related sections may be merged. For seed-stage companies, Chapters 7-9 may be streamlined; for growth-stage companies, Chapters 10-12 should be more detailed.
Apply the visual style
Read references/style_contract.md for the complete style specification. Core rules:
- Background: All content pages are white (
#FFFFFF). Never use a dark background. - Color scheme: The primary color is navy
#1B3A6B(dark blue). Greenonlyis used for secondary data series in charts (such as green bars for overseas/auxiliary data). Green is not used as a primary color. - Header: Each content page has a navy horizontal line (2px) below the title. The company logo is fixed in the upper right corner of each content page.
- Data visualization: Bar/column charts'primary coloris navy blue. Green is used only for secondary data series. Donut charts use navy blue + green (or navy blue + gray).
- Emphasis style: Key metrics are bold, with a font size 2-4pt larger than the surrounding text.
- Summary banner: A full-width navy blue rectangle at the bottom of the page, with white text displaying the core conclusion.
Design each slide
For each slide, choose references/structure_contract.md the layout pattern defined in:
- Grid highlights(Pattern A) — 3×2 cards, containing icons, titles, and two-line bullet summaries
- Dual charts(Pattern B) — two charts side by side, with dark title bars
- Comparison process(Pattern C) — horizontal arrow process + comparison table below
- Strategic pillars(Pattern D) — vertically stacked: navy blue label capsules + bullet list per row
- Three-column matrix(Pattern E) — three side-by-side modules + icon grid at the bottom
- Top-bottom comparison(Pattern F) — top-bottom flowchart + callout boxes
- Image grid(Pattern G) — three-column product images + captions
- Bottom summary banner(Pattern H) — navy blue full-width summary banner
Design principles for each page:
- One core message per page
- Body text at most 40-50 Chinese characters or about 80 English words
- 3-6 highlighted data points
- Prioritize charts/diagrams over text bullets
- Every point should be supported by data, charts, or sources
Step 5: Verify (Verify)
Verify with an action that "could fail"—read back the output in a way different from the generation path:
- Ensure all content pages have a white background—no exceptions
- Confirm navy blue is the primary color on all pages
- Check that all charts use navy blue as the main fill color
- Confirm the logo position (top right corner) is consistent on every content page
- Confirm there is a navy blue underline below the title on each page
- Verify that text does not overflow shape boundaries
- Confirm team member photos are real photos, not generic icons
- Confirm product images are real images, not placeholders
- Do not add a "Strictly Confidential" watermark or footer
Step 6: Deliver (Deliver)
Return the result and clean up temporary files:
- By default, deliver a PPTX file; if the user requests it, also provide a PDF
- Tell the user the output file path
- Explain that the file is editable and recommend that the user replace placeholders with actual data

Chinese Content Font Strategy
When the presentation contains Chinese text (default case):
- Heading Font: Kaiti / STKaiti (alternative: Source Han Serif SC)
- Body Font: Same as heading font (maintain consistency of a single font family)
- English/Number Supplement: Arial (for English terms and numbers)
- Bold Emphasis: Use the bold weight of that font, or switch to a Chinese font that supports bold (e.g., Microsoft YaHei Bold)
When the presentation is in pure English:
- Heading Font: Georgia or Merriweather (serif, professional feel)
- Body Font: Same font family as the heading
- Emphasis/Bold: Use the bold weight of the same font family
Reference Sources
- Reference Type: User-uploaded file (PDF)
- Reference File Type: PDF (18-page startup financing pitch deck PPT for a Chinese power electronics company)
- Valid Reference File Type: PPTX (slide presentation)
- Primary Language: Simplified Chinese, interspersed with English technical terms
- Reference fonts: Kaiti (STKaiti) for Chinese body text/titles; Arial for English/numbers; Microsoft YaHei Bold for emphasis
Guardrails
Anti-patterns
- NEVER use a dark background—all content pages must be white (
#FFFFFF) - Do NOT add section divider pages/transition pages—the reference template uses a flat structure
- Do NOT use green as the primary color—green is only used for secondary data series in charts
- NEVER fabricate traction, market size, customer evidence, team background, or financing terms
- Do NOT add a "Strictly Confidential" watermark or footer
- Do NOT use generic icons in place of real photos of team members or real product images
Constraints
- All numbers must come from the input, specific sources, or reproducible calculations
- Leave unknown values blank or mark them as to be confirmed; do not fabricate
- When the total number of slides exceeds 20, merge closely related sections
- Seed-stage companies may streamline Chapters 7-9; growth-stage companies should elaborate on Chapters 10-12
- Body text should have at most 40-50 Chinese characters or about 80 English words per page
