Marketplace pitch deck generator: liquidity, take rate, network effects

Marketplace VCs care about three things: liquidity (% of supply that finds demand within X days), take rate, and network effects. SlideGMM generates marketplace-specific slides β€” supply density map, liquidity curve, take rate decomposition.

Frequently asked questions

  • Liquidity, not GMV. Two marketplaces with the same GMV can have wildly different liquidity profiles. GMV grows by adding supply; liquidity grows by matching supply to demand. Marketplace VCs trust liquidity-led pitches; GMV-led pitches read as "we added supply, hope demand follows."

  • Two curves on same chart: (1) revenue per buyer over cohort age, (2) revenue per supplier over cohort age. If both curves slope up, network effects are real. If only one does, you're a one-sided demand or supply business β€” different category.

  • 14-16 slides typical. Seed: 14 (problem, two-sided market, liquidity proof, take rate, growth, team, ask). Series A: 16 (add geographic expansion + cohort retention by side).
