It gives potential investors a way to hear your explanation before you meet: what the company does, who needs the product, and what you are working toward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains what to include in a video pitch deck and how to divide the story between the screen and the voiceover. You\u2019ll also find a six-slide example with on-screen text and a complete sample script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Explain the customer problem before introducing the product\u2019s features.<\/li>\n\n<li>Use slides to show the product and evidence. Use narration to explain why they matter.<\/li>\n\n<li>Make it clear which features and results already exist and which are planned.<\/li>\n\n<li>Finish with a specific request, such as a prototype demo or a meeting to discuss funding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Include in a Video Pitch Deck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main questions are straightforward: What does the business do? Who needs it? How will it make money? Why is this team suited to build it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sequoiacap.com\/article\/writing-a-business-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sequoia\u2019s business-plan outline<\/a> covers these foundations. In a recorded presentation, your slides and narration need to answer them without relying on questions from the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The Business and the Customer Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with a sentence that names the customer and the job your product helps them do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe help independent repair shops find replacement parts across supplier catalogs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That tells viewers more than \u201cWe\u2019re transforming the future of repair.\u201d Follow it with the difficulty customers face today: technicians search several catalogs, compare part numbers, and check compatibility before placing an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A specific situation gives viewers something to picture. You can then show where your product fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The Product and Its Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Show how someone would use the product to solve that problem. A short sequence of relevant screens is usually easier to follow than a slide listing every feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The task:<\/strong> What is the customer trying to do?<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>The product\u2019s role:<\/strong> Which part of that task does it handle?<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>The difference:<\/strong> How does this compare with the customer\u2019s current approach?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use working product screens where available. Label mockups and planned features so viewers can distinguish the current product from the roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The Market and Business Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explain who you expect to buy first, not just the broad industry your product belongs to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the repair-parts example, \u201cindependent appliance-repair shops\u201d is a clearer starting point than \u201cthe global repair market.\u201d From there, explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Who pays:<\/strong> The shop owner, technician, supplier, or another customer?<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>What they pay for:<\/strong> A subscription, a transaction, or a service?<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>How you\u2019ll reach them:<\/strong> Direct outreach, industry partners, or another planned route?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you include a market estimate, show its source and how it relates to your target customers. Distinguish a proposed pricing model from pricing that customers have already accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Progress and the Team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Describe the stage you have actually reached. A working prototype, a scheduled pilot, and paying customers are different milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Useful evidence might include a product demonstration, customer research, or measured usage. When showing numbers, include the period and what the numbers represent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then connect the team\u2019s experience to the work ahead. Instead of reading a biography, explain who understands the customer\u2019s problem and who can build or deliver the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The Ask and the Next Milestone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make the ending match the purpose of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an introduction, the request might be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019d welcome a meeting to demonstrate the prototype and discuss our pilot plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a fundraising presentation, explain the amount being raised, what the funding will support, and the milestone it should help you reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep the request and contact details visible on the final slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-content-outline.webp\" alt=\"Eight illustrated pitch deck topics: business, problem, product, market, business model, progress, team, and ask\" class=\"wp-image-952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-content-outline.webp 1280w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-content-outline-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-content-outline-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-content-outline-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-content-outline-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Structure the Slides and Narration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful starting order is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Business and problem \u2192 Product \u2192 Market and business model \u2192 Progress \u2192 Team \u2192 Ask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order can change with the business. <a href=\"https:\/\/slidebean.com\/blog\/pitch-deck-structure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Slidebean\u2019s pitch-deck structure guide<\/a> discusses this flexibility. For example, strong customer results may deserve an earlier place in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more important question is whether each slide prepares viewers for the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give the Screen and the Voice Different Jobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The slide should help viewers see the point. The narration should explain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a product slide, that could mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>On screen:<\/strong> A search box, a compatibility filter, and the matching parts.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>In the narration:<\/strong> Why searching those catalogs together helps a technician complete the task.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid filling the slide with the same paragraph you plan to read aloud. Viewers would have to read and listen to identical information at different speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep essential evidence on screen, though. A chart still needs its labels, source, and time period; narration should not carry those details alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Write the Connections Between Slides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A presentation can contain all the right sections and still feel disjointed. The transitions explain why the next section belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the repair-parts example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Problem to product:<\/strong><br>\u201cInstead of checking each catalog separately, technicians can search them from one place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Product to business model:<\/strong><br>\u201cBecause shops search for parts throughout the working week, we plan to offer the service through a monthly subscription.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sentences connect the customer\u2019s task to the product and the product to the proposed business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the Narration as One Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the narration from beginning to end without looking at the slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check whether someone unfamiliar with the business could follow it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is the customer introduced before their problem?<\/li>\n\n<li>Is the product explained before its revenue model?<\/li>\n\n<li>Are current results clearly separated from future plans?<\/li>\n\n<li>Does the closing request follow from the work you\u2019ve described?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then read it alongside the slides. Remove spoken descriptions that merely repeat obvious labels, and add explanations where a chart or product screen needs context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-slides-and-narration.webp\" alt=\"A pitch slide with a three-part product workflow paired with narration explaining the workflow\" class=\"wp-image-953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-slides-and-narration.webp 1280w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-slides-and-narration-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-slides-and-narration-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-slides-and-narration-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/video-pitch-deck-slides-and-narration-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Video Pitch Deck Example: A Repair-Parts Startup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following example is fictional. The product, team backgrounds, and business plans are illustrative\u2014not claims about a real company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The startup has a working parts-search prototype. Ordering is planned, and the pilot has not started. This introductory video aims to secure a meeting to demonstrate the prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the six narration sections consecutively and they form one short pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide 1: The Business and the Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the slide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find Replacement Parts Across Supplier Catalogs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For independent appliance-repair shops<\/li>\n\n<li>One repair job can require several catalog searches<\/li>\n\n<li>Technicians still need to check compatibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Narration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe help independent appliance-repair shops find replacement parts. A technician may need to search several supplier catalogs for one repair job, comparing part numbers and checking compatibility along the way. We\u2019re building a service that brings those searches into one place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide 2: The Product<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the slide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One Search Across Connected Catalogs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a screenshot of the working prototype with three short labels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enter the appliance details<\/li>\n\n<li>Search available catalog data<\/li>\n\n<li>Review compatible parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Label any separate ordering mockup <strong>\u201cPlanned Feature.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Narration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur prototype lets technicians enter appliance details and search the supplier catalogs we\u2019ve connected. They can then review matching parts without starting a separate search in each catalog. Parts search is working today. Ordering is the next part of the workflow we plan to build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide 3: The Customer and Business Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the slide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Starting With Independent Appliance-Repair Shops<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customer: repair-shop owners<\/li>\n\n<li>Proposed model: monthly subscription<\/li>\n\n<li>Initial outreach: direct contact with shops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Narration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re starting with independent appliance-repair shops, where finding parts is a recurring task. We plan to charge shop owners a monthly subscription. Our first customer conversations will focus on how often technicians need the service and whether it covers the suppliers they use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide 4: Progress and the Next Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the slide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Working Prototype, Pilot Next<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete: parts-search prototype<\/li>\n\n<li>Next: pilot with repair shops<\/li>\n\n<li>Measure: successful searches, separate catalog visits, and missing parts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Narration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe search prototype is ready for a pilot. We\u2019ll observe technicians using it on repair jobs and record whether they find suitable parts, how often they still visit separate catalogs, and which parts are missing. Those findings will guide catalog coverage and the planned ordering workflow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slide 5: The Team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the slide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Repair Operations + Catalog Software<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Co-founder: repair-shop operations experience<\/li>\n\n<li>Co-founder: product-data and catalog software experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Narration:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur team combines experience in repair-shop operations with experience building catalog software.
