Pre-seed investors back people and insight, not spreadsheets. This deck follows that order: one chart that proves the pain, the problem in four lines, a solution in three columns, why the timing works, the team, an 18-month plan and a specific ask. It is built to be read cold and presented warm.

The sample is Bramblewood Advisory, a software company that helps small charities find and file grant applications, raising £1.2M at £6M post-money for 20 months of runway. Replace the customer quote, evidence, team and ask with your own, and delete any slide that does not apply.
