The Fund Pitch Deck Guide (with Carta)
Key components of a winning LP pitch deck
Thesis & why now
The market gap you're closing and why this is the moment to back it, backed by data, not conviction alone
Team & network
Who you are, what you've returned before, and the deal flow and co-investors only you can reach
Strategy & portfolio construction
How capital gets deployed: check sizes, diversification, follow-on reserves, and how you manage the downside
Market & edge
The size of the opportunity and a clear map of why your sourcing, thesis, or value-add beats the funds next to you
Track record & proof
IRR, MOIC, and real case studies — the wins, the exits, and the lessons that sharpened your approach
Economics, terms & next steps
Fund size, fees, carry, and GP commitment, then a timeline and a clear ask to move forward
