Pitch deck review & one-to-one pitch coaching

Why pitch preparation comes after investor interest

Founders, business owners and management teams often want to build the perfect deck first. But a deck built in a vacuum is a deck built for no one in particular. Once suitable investors have been approached and genuine interest has been shown, we know the sectors, stages and concerns of the actual audience — so the review and coaching are grounded in what those investors need to see, not guesswork.

This is the sequence InvestorMap is built around: find the right investor audience first, then prepare to pitch with confidence.

What Stage 3 includes (£3,495)

Where genuine investor interest is shown, the Pitch Deck Review & One-to-One Pitch Coaching stage covers:

• Pitch deck review. We review your existing pitch deck and recommend improvements to how the opportunity is presented.
• Refining the story. We sharpen how the opportunity is framed for the investors who have shown interest.
• One-to-one pitch coaching. We work with you directly so you can deliver the pitch clearly and confidently.
• Presenting with and without the deck. We help you present both with the deck and without it, for meetings where you won't be presenting slides.
• Likely investor-question preparation. We prepare you for the questions investors are most likely to ask.
• Recorded dry-run sessions. Up to two recorded dry-run sessions with feedback and refinement, so you can see and improve your delivery.

Additional pitch coaching can be added if required. A success fee of 5% of the investment value applies only if investment is successfully secured.

What makes an investor pitch land

A strong investor pitch is clear, credible and tailored to the audience in the room. It explains the opportunity simply, anticipates the questions investors will ask, and is delivered with confidence rather than read from slides. Because Stage 3 follows investor outreach, the coaching is grounded in what the interested investors actually care about — their sector focus, their typical concerns and the level of detail they expect — rather than generic pitch theory.

Presenting with and without the deck

Not every investor conversation happens over a slide deck. Early meetings, calls and introductions often have no screen at all, so being able to explain the opportunity crisply without slides is just as important as presenting with them. We practise both, so you are equally comfortable talking an investor through the business informally and walking them through the deck in a formal meeting. The recorded dry-run sessions let you see your own delivery and refine it before it counts.

We review your deck — we don't replace your business

Stage 3 is about making you ready to present the opportunity you already have, to investors who have already shown interest. It is a review-and-coaching stage: we improve and refine an existing pitch deck and prepare you to deliver it, rather than building a business case from scratch.

Getting to Stage 3

Pitch preparation is the final stage of a staged engagement:

1. Investment Readiness — a free assessment of your investable proposition.
2. Find Investors / Raise Investment — investor matching, shortlisting and a managed approach (£995 stage), testing for genuine interest.
3. Pitch Deck Review & Coaching — where genuine interest is shown, we prepare you to pitch that audience with confidence.

If you are just starting out, the right first step is the free initial assessment rather than this stage.
