For startup founders

Generate board decks investors actually finish reading

Paste your monthly metrics, runway, and team updates. SlideGMM produces a structured board deck — KPI dashboard, P&L summary, hiring plan, asks — exportable to native PowerPoint.

Why board prep eats your weekend

  • Investors want metrics, not poetry

    MRR, burn, runway, hiring, churn — the table on slide 2. If you bury it under "company vision" slides, the read slows down.

  • Quarterly board prep on top of running the company

    You spent 90 days running operations. Now you have a weekend to compile a deck the board will actually finish.

  • Last quarter's deck doesn't fit this quarter

    Copy-pasting old slides creates inconsistency. Every quarter you re-do half the deck.

A board deck workflow built for founders who want sleep

  • KPI dashboard on slide 2

    SlideGMM defaults to the metrics layout investors expect — MRR, burn, runway, growth rate, gross margin — without burying it in narrative.

  • Runway and hiring plan templates

    Pre-built layouts for 18-month runway, hiring waterfall, org chart updates — the slides every board pack needs.

  • P&L and unit economics

    Paste numbers from your finance sheet — SlideGMM converts them to clean tables and charts. Investors see the math, not the spreadsheet.

  • Asks slide with action items

    Most boards finish on "what do you need from us". SlideGMM ends every deck with an asks section — intros, hires, decisions — so the discussion has structure.

Board meeting deck FAQs

  • CEO summary → financial review → KPI attainment → top 3 wins → top 3 risks → asks for the board → appendix with deeper detail. SlideGMM's board template arranges these in this order so directors see what they came for first. Anything detail-heavy goes in the appendix, not the main deck.

  • For a 90-minute board meeting, 25–35 slides in the main deck plus 15–20 appendix slides. SlideGMM defaults to about 30 main + 18 appendix. Going past 50 main slides means the board won't finish; going below 20 means you'll get questions you didn't answer in writing.

  • Generate the deck structure first, edit the financial slides locally in PowerPoint with real numbers, never paste sensitive cap table or ARR data into AI prompts. SlideGMM doesn't train on your inputs, but the safest pattern for board-level financials is "outline in SlideGMM, fill in numbers offline."

  • Most boards expect a pre-read 48 hours before the meeting. SlideGMM's "pre-read" output mode produces a denser version of the deck with full notes inline — directors read it asynchronously, then the live meeting focuses on discussion. Saves 30 minutes of "reading slides out loud" during the meeting.

  • Yes — describe the asks (approval for hires, budget reallocation, board introductions) in the prompt and SlideGMM produces a clean asks slide in the format directors expect. Specific asks get answered; vague "we need help with X" asks don't — the template forces specificity.
