Sector deep-dives (electives)
In this lesson
Sector-specific deck guides that go slide by slide for your exact field. Read the one that matches your startup once your core deck is drafted.
The guides
How to use these
Everything so far covers how to raise across deeptech in general. But investors in your specific sector weight things differently. A robotics VC fixates on payback period and deployment risk. A biotech VC wants clinical validation and a clear regulatory path. A chips VC cares about tape-out and yield. A defense VC thinks about programs of record and procurement.
Each guide below, co-written with leading investors in that sector, walks your pitch slide by slide for your field, with exactly what excites investors and the red flags that make them pass, for every slide. Pick the one that matches your company and read it after you've drafted your deck from the earlier lessons.
Key takeaways
- General fundraising advice gets you most of the way; sector nuance closes the gap.
- Your sector's investors weight specific slides differently, so learn what they index on.
- Use your sector guide as a checklist against your drafted deck before you go out.
