How to build a pitch deck with Corey: step by step
To build a pitch deck with Corey, brief it on your raise and audience, then let it shape the story, draft each slide and design a clean, consistent deck. You refine the narrative like a founder, and once it is done Corey keeps the deck current with your latest numbers and traction, so it is always ready to send.
A pitch deck lives or dies on its story, yet most are built slide-first and end up as a tidy pile of facts that argues nothing. Corey works the other way: it settles the narrative, then drafts and designs the deck around it, and keeps it current between conversations. Here is the order that works.
1. Brief Corey on the raise
Start with who the deck is for and what you are asking for - an investor round, a competition, a partner. The audience changes the emphasis, so Corey settles that with you before it builds a single slide.
2. Shape the story
Corey lays out the arc - problem, solution, market, traction, model, team, ask - so the deck makes one clear argument. You agree this spine first, because a deck with great slides and a muddled story still loses the room.
3. Draft the slides
Corey writes each slide tight: one idea, few words, the point landing fast. Investors skim before they read, so the draft is built to be understood in seconds. You react and it sharpens.
4. Pull in the numbers
Corey gathers your traction, market sizing and financials and turns them into clear figures and simple charts. The numbers carry the claims, so they have to be both right and easy to grasp at a glance.
5. Design and refine
Corey designs the deck on a consistent system - type, colour, spacing - and you steer it like a founder. Paste a screenshot, say “this slide is busy” or “the ask is buried”, and Corey reships. You direct the look and the message; it does the work.
6. Keep it current
A deck dates faster than almost anything else you make. Corey keeps yours updated with your latest traction and numbers, so when a warm introduction lands you send the current version straight away, not a scramble to refresh last quarter’s.
That is how Corey changes building a pitch deck: a clear story, a clean design and numbers that hold up - kept ready to send, with you owning the pitch.
