Slide Design Rules

Typography

Element Size (1920x1080) Rule

Slide title 48-72px Max 6 words

Key stat/number 96-144px One per slide, when applicable

Body text 24-32px Max 6 bullet points

Caption/source 16-20px Cite data sources

Font Sans-serif only Inter, Helvetica, SF Pro, or similar

The 1-6-6 Rule

• 1 idea per slide

• 6 words max per bullet

• 6 bullets max per slide

If you need more text, you need more slides.

Color

Element Guideline

Background Dark (navy, charcoal) OR clean white — pick one, commit

Accent color ONE brand color for emphasis

Text White on dark, or dark grey (#333) on light

Charts 2-3 colors max, your brand color = "you"

Avoid Gradients on text, neon colors, more than 3 colors

Layout

Rule Why

Consistent margins (80-100px) Professional, clean

Left-align text (never center body text) Easier to scan

One visual per slide Focus attention

Slide numbers Helps investors reference specific slides

Logo in corner Subtle brand reinforcement

Slide-by-Slide Visual Guide

1. Title Slide

infsh app run infsh/html-to-image --input '{ "html": "<div style="width:1920px;height:1080px;background:#0f0f23;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-family:system-ui;color:white;text-align:center"><div><h1 style="font-size:80px;font-weight:900;margin:0">DataFlow</h1><p style="font-size:32px;opacity:0.7;margin-top:16px">Automated reporting for data teams</p><p style="font-size:22px;opacity:0.5;margin-top:40px">Seed Round — Q1 2025</p></div></div>" }'

2. Problem Slide

One big number + one sentence.

infsh app run infsh/html-to-image --input '{ "html": "<div style="width:1920px;height:1080px;background:#0f0f23;display:flex;align-items:center;padding:100px;font-family:system-ui;color:white"><div><p style="font-size:24px;color:#f59e0b;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:3px;margin:0">The Problem</p><h1 style="font-size:144px;margin:20px 0;font-weight:900;color:#f59e0b">12 hrs/week</h1><p style="font-size:36px;opacity:0.8;line-height:1.4">The average data analyst spends 12 hours per week<br>building reports manually</p><p style="font-size:20px;opacity:0.4;margin-top:30px">Source: Forrester Research, 2024</p></div></div>" }'

5. Market Size (TAM/SAM/SOM)

Use concentric circles, not pie charts:

infsh app run infsh/python-executor --input '{ "code": "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use("Agg")\n\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(19.2, 10.8))\nfig.patch.set_facecolor("#0f0f23")\nax.set_facecolor("#0f0f23")\n\ncircles = [\n (0, 0, 4.0, "#1e1e4a", "TAM\n$50B", 40),\n (0, 0, 2.8, "#2a2a5a", "SAM\n$8B", 32),\n (0, 0, 1.4, "#818cf8", "SOM\n$800M", 28)\n]\n\nfor x, y, r, color, label, fontsize in circles:\n circle = plt.Circle((x, y), r, color=color, ec="#333366", linewidth=2)\n ax.add_patch(circle)\n ax.text(x, y, label, ha="center", va="center", fontsize=fontsize, color="white", fontweight="bold")\n\nax.set_xlim(-5, 5)\nax.set_ylim(-5, 5)\nax.set_aspect("equal")\nax.axis("off")\nax.text(0, 4.8, "Market Opportunity", ha="center", fontsize=36, color="white", fontweight="bold")\nplt.tight_layout()\nplt.savefig("market-size.png", dpi=100, facecolor="#0f0f23")\nprint("Saved")" }'

7. Traction Slide

Show growth, not just numbers. Up-and-to-the-right chart.

infsh app run infsh/python-executor --input '{ "code": "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use("Agg")\n\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(19.2, 10.8))\nfig.patch.set_facecolor("#0f0f23")\nax.set_facecolor("#0f0f23")\n\nmonths = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug"]\nrevenue = [8, 12, 18, 28, 42, 58, 82, 120]\n\nax.fill_between(range(len(months)), revenue, alpha=0.3, color="#818cf8")\nax.plot(range(len(months)), revenue, color="#818cf8", linewidth=4, marker="o", markersize=10)\nax.set_xticks(range(len(months)))\nax.set_xticklabels(months, color="white", fontsize=18)\nax.tick_params(colors="white", labelsize=16)\nax.set_ylabel("MRR ($K)", color="white", fontsize=20)\nax.spines["top"].set_visible(False)\nax.spines["right"].set_visible(False)\nax.spines["bottom"].set_color("#333")\nax.spines["left"].set_color("#333")\nax.set_title("Monthly Recurring Revenue", color="white", fontsize=32, fontweight="bold", pad=20)\nax.text(7, 120, "$120K MRR", color="#22c55e", fontsize=28, fontweight="bold", ha="center", va="bottom")\nax.text(7, 112, "15x growth in 8 months", color="#22c55e", fontsize=18, ha="center")\nplt.tight_layout()\nplt.savefig("traction.png", dpi=100, facecolor="#0f0f23")\nprint("Saved")" }'

8. Competition Slide

Never use a feature matrix against competitors. Use a 2x2 positioning map.

See the competitor-teardown skill for positioning map generation

infsh app run infsh/python-executor --input '{ "code": "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use("Agg")\n\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(19.2, 10.8))\nfig.patch.set_facecolor("#0f0f23")\nax.set_facecolor("#0f0f23")\n\ncompetitors = {\n "Us": (0.6, 0.7, "#22c55e", 300),\n "Legacy Tool": (-0.5, 0.5, "#6366f1", 200),\n "Startup X": (0.3, -0.4, "#6366f1", 200),\n "Manual Process": (-0.6, -0.6, "#475569", 150)\n}\n\nfor name, (x, y, color, size) in competitors.items():\n ax.scatter(x, y, s=size*5, c=color, zorder=5, alpha=0.8)\n weight = "bold" if name == "Us" else "normal"\n ax.annotate(name, (x, y), textcoords="offset points", xytext=(15, 15), fontsize=22, color="white", fontweight=weight)\n\nax.axhline(y=0, color="#333", linewidth=1)\nax.axvline(x=0, color="#333", linewidth=1)\nax.set_xlim(-1, 1)\nax.set_ylim(-1, 1)\nax.set_xlabel("Manual ← → Automated", fontsize=22, color="white", labelpad=15)\nax.set_ylabel("Basic ← → Advanced", fontsize=22, color="white", labelpad=15)\nax.set_title("Competitive Landscape", fontsize=32, color="white", fontweight="bold", pad=20)\nax.tick_params(colors="#0f0f23")\nfor spine in ax.spines.values():\n spine.set_visible(False)\nplt.tight_layout()\nplt.savefig("competition.png", dpi=100, facecolor="#0f0f23")\nprint("Saved")" }'

9. Team Slide

Generate professional team headshots/avatars

infsh app run falai/flux-dev-lora --input '{ "prompt": "professional headshot portrait, person in business casual attire, clean neutral background, warm studio lighting, confident friendly expression, corporate photography style", "width": 512, "height": 512 }'

Layout: Photos in a row with name, title, and one credential each.

Person Format

CEO Name, title, "Ex-[Company], [credential]"

CTO Name, title, "Built [thing] at [Company]"

Others Name, title, one relevant credential

Max 4 people on the team slide. More = unfocused.

Chart Guidelines

Chart Type Use For Never Use For

Line chart Growth over time (traction) Comparisons between categories

Bar chart Comparing amounts Time series (use line)

Concentric circles TAM/SAM/SOM Anything else

2x2 matrix Competitive positioning Feature comparison

Single big number Key metric highlight Multiple metrics

Pie chart NEVER Anything (hard to read, unprofessional)

Chart Design Rules

Rule Why

Max 2 colors per chart Clarity

Your company = green or brand color Positive association

Label directly on chart No separate legend needed

Remove gridlines or make very subtle Reduce clutter

Start Y-axis at 0 Don't mislead

Cite data sources Credibility

What Investors Look For

Slide Investor's Real Question

Problem "Is this a real problem people pay to solve?"

Solution "Is this 10x better than the status quo?"

Market "Is this big enough to matter?"

Traction "Is this actually working?"

Team "Can these people execute?"

Ask "Is this a reasonable deal?"

Common Mistakes

Mistake Problem Fix

Too many slides (20+) Loses attention, unfocused Max 12-15 slides

Wall of text Nobody reads it 1-6-6 rule: 1 idea, 6 words, 6 bullets

Feature comparison table vs competitors Looks defensive Use 2x2 positioning map

Pie charts Hard to read, unprofessional Use bar charts or big numbers

No data sources cited Looks made up Always cite sources

Team slide with 8+ people Unfocused Max 4, focus on relevant experience

Inconsistent design Looks amateur Same colors, fonts, margins on every slide

No "The Ask" slide Investor doesn't know what you want State amount, use of funds, timeline

Vanity metrics "1M visits" means nothing without conversion Show revenue, active users, retention

Too much product demo This is a business pitch, not a demo Max 2 slides on product, focus on business
