Write your full pitch deck narrative
AI asks 10 key questions, then writes the complete text for a 15-slide investor pitch deck ready to design.
Write your full pitch deck narrative
River's Pitch Deck Narrative Writer creates the complete written content for a professional 15-slide investor pitch deck. The AI asks strategic questions about your problem, solution, traction, market, business model, competition, team, and fundraising, then writes the narrative text for every slide. You get the full story arc that makes investor pitches compelling: hook with the problem, demonstrate your solution, prove traction, show market opportunity, explain business model, address competition, introduce team, and close with the ask. Take this narrative and add it to slide templates, or hand it to a designer.
Unlike starting with blank slides and struggling with what to say, this gives you the complete narrative structure and talking points for each slide. The AI knows the investor pitch formula that works: problem slides that create urgency, solution slides that show your unique approach, traction slides that prove momentum, market slides that show scale opportunity, and team slides that prove execution capability. You get written content calibrated for slide format: concise, punchy, and designed to be paired with visuals. The hard part of pitch decks is not making slides, it's crafting the narrative. This handles that.
This tool is perfect for pre-seed and seed stage founders building their first investor deck, entrepreneurs who have a product but struggle articulating the pitch, startup teams preparing for demo days or accelerator pitches, or anyone who needs the narrative before design. If you're staring at pitch deck templates unsure what words to write, or if you've drafted slides but the story doesn't flow, this creates the narrative foundation you need. Use it before you design, so design serves strong content.
What Makes Pitch Deck Narratives Strong
Strong pitch narratives follow a story arc: problem that creates pain, solution that resolves it uniquely, proof you're gaining traction, market large enough to matter, business model that prints money, competition you'll beat, team that can execute, and ask that closes the loop. Weak pitches jump between topics randomly or bury the most compelling points. Investors see the same pitch structure repeatedly because it works. The key is not reinventing structure, it's making your specific problem, solution, and traction compelling within that proven framework.
The best pitch deck narratives are tight and specific. Problem slide uses concrete customer stories, not abstract pain points. Solution slide shows the product in action, not vague descriptions. Traction slide leads with numbers, not adjectives. Market slide shows TAM with credible sources and explains why timing is right now. Business model slide makes revenue math crystal clear. Competition slide acknowledges rivals then explains unfair advantages. Team slide proves capability through previous wins. The narrative builds confidence slide by slide that this team can capture this opportunity.
To evaluate your pitch narrative, read just the slide text with no visuals. Does it tell a coherent story? Does each slide advance the argument for why investors should fund you? If you removed any single slide, would the narrative have a gap? Strong narratives have no filler slides, every slide earns its place. Also test emotional arc: does the problem create urgency? Does the solution provide relief? Does traction prove momentum? Does the market show scale? If the narrative doesn't take investors on an emotional and logical journey from problem to opportunity, keep refining.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this create the actual slides or just the text?
This creates the text narrative only. You get the complete written content for each slide (what to say, what points to make, what story to tell), but you'll need to add that text to slide templates or work with a designer to create the visual deck. Think of this as the scriptwriting phase. The AI solves the hardest part: figuring out what to say and how to structure your story. You or your designer handle making it look good.
What if I want more or fewer than 15 slides?
The AI creates the standard 15-slide deck structure investors expect (problem, solution, traction, market, business model, competition, team, ask, plus supporting slides). You can easily cut slides you don't need or split dense slides into multiple. Most seed-stage pitches are 10-15 slides. If you're pre-seed, you might skip business model details and focus more on vision. If you're Series A, you might expand traction and financials. Use the 15-slide narrative as your foundation, then adapt to your specific stage and audience.
Can I use this narrative for verbal pitches without slides?
Absolutely. The narrative structure works for any pitch format: slides, verbal pitch, written proposal, or email summary. The story arc (problem to solution to traction to opportunity) translates across formats. If you're doing a verbal pitch without slides, read through the narrative to internalize the flow and key points. The language might need adjustment (slide text is punchier than speaking style), but the structure and story logic remain solid.
What questions will the AI ask?
The AI asks about: (1) the customer problem you're solving, (2) your solution and how it's different, (3) traction metrics and growth, (4) target market and size, (5) business model and pricing, (6) go-to-market strategy, (7) competitive landscape, (8) your team and backgrounds, (9) funding ask and use, and (10) your vision for where the company goes. Questions are conversational and adapt based on your answers. The more specific you are, the stronger the narrative.
How is this different from a business plan?
Pitch decks are visual, concise, and designed for live presentation or quick async review (10-15 minutes to consume). Business plans are comprehensive documents with deep detail meant for careful reading (30+ pages). The pitch deck narrative is punchy and focused on the most compelling points. It's about generating interest and getting to next conversation. Business plans are about demonstrating you've thought through everything. Use this for investor meetings and warm intros. Use business plans when investors or banks ask for comprehensive documentation.
