Our 6 Favorite Tools for Your Pitch Deck

Your pitch deck is the most important sales collateral for your business. Whether you’re selling pizza slices or the blueprints to a nuclear reactor, you always need to explain your big idea to investors or clients.

And what is your primary tool for that? Your pitch deck.

Fortunately, you’re not alone. One great resource to get you started is the ebook "How to Pitch and Get Funded," which is a free download. From there, you have many resources in different shapes and sizes to suit your needs.

Prezi

Prezi is a unique and beautiful presentation option. However, it requires a big investment of time.

Prezi is a SaaS company that offers what I like to call a "slide deck on steroids." With motion-based design, presentations created in Prezi look slicker than those created in PowerPoint.

Essentially, Prezi is a SaaS alternative to PowerPoint or Keynote. It allows you to sync multiple presentations, present offline (despite being cloud-based), and gives you a "blank canvas" feel, unlike a traditional slide deck. It’s like a mind map, with the camera "zooming in on" different ideas as you walk through your presentation. With effort, you can achieve amazing results.

Pros:

  • Huge deck library for inspiration
  • Significant online support
  • Supporting app for iPhone, iPad, and one in the Play Store for presenting or working on your presentation from anywhere (nice-to-have)

Cons:

  • Most support is only available to paying customers
  • The free option doesn’t allow private presentation storage, which is crucial for entrepreneurs taking a new idea to market
  • Making an amazing presentation is time-consuming

Pricing:

Prezi offers three pricing models for maximum flexibility. It starts for free, but the inability to create and keep private presentations significantly reduces this functionality. The basic package is $10 per month, while $20 provides extra features like offline editing. There’s also an enterprise option with custom branding. All pricing options include 24/7 support.
