How to prepare the Pitch Deck

What's a pitch deck?

A pitch deck is a set of slides which you could use as a tool to better guide you to present your idea in front of the investors or the evaluators. Each slide should be simple and minimal, but should convey the content.

NOTE: Don't let the pitch deck speak. But instead, it should be used to better convey what you are saying during the pitch.
