Create a Pitch Deck in LivePlan

A Pitch Deck turns the business information you already have in LivePlan into an editable slide presentation. Use it when you want to create a deck from your Company and Plan context, then edit, present, share, or export the slides.

LivePlan gives you three ways to begin a Pitch Deck.

Choose Generate from AI when you want LivePlan to draft the slides from the business information you have already added. This is usually the fastest starting point when your Plan, Forecast, Idea Canvas, Market Research, and Reference Files are current.

Choose Follow an investor-ready outline when you want a guided pitch structure with placeholder content you can write yourself.

Choose Start with a blank deck when you already know the slide structure you want and prefer to build the deck manually.

The generated deck is a first draft. Review every slide before presenting, sharing, or exporting it.

The Pitch Deck editor shows slide thumbnails on the left and the active slide in the main editing area.

Edit text directly on the slide. When a text area is selected, use the toolbar to change text style, alignment, list formatting, or other available text options.

Use the slide controls to add, duplicate, delete, hide, or reorder slides. Reordering happens from the slide thumbnail list.

Use layout and theme controls to adjust the structure, fonts, and colors of the deck.

Replace generic images with an uploaded image, your logo, a free photo, or a generated image.

Review charts, tables, and financial slides carefully. If a financial slide shows outdated or unexpected information, update the Forecast or Scenario first, then return to the deck and review the slide again.

Click Present when you want to show the deck from LivePlan.

Before presenting, read through the deck in order and confirm that the story, images, and financial details fit the audience.

Open Share when you want to send the deck to someone else or download a file.

• Use Share a link when you want someone to view the deck online. Open the link yourself before sending it so you can check the formatting, images, and financial details.

• Use Download Powerpoint when you need a .pptx file for PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, or another compatible presentation tool.

• Use Download PDF when you want a fixed version of the deck that is portable and less likely to be edited by the recipient.

• Complete or update your Plan before generating a deck.

• Review your Idea Canvas and Market Research if those areas contain important business context.

• Add useful Reference Files before generating if you want LivePlan to consider additional context.

• Check your Forecast and Scenario before sharing slides with financial information.

• Use the investor-ready outline when you want structure without generated wording.

• Use a blank deck when you already know the slide order and content you want.

• Review every generated slide for accuracy, audience fit, and tone.

• Replace generic images or wording with details that are specific to your business.

• Create a separate deck when you need a different version for a different audience.
