Pitch Deck Handbook: Roadmap Slide

TLDR

The Roadmap Slide helps investors gain clarity on where you have been, where you are, and where you are going with your company. This slide should include a timeline with; What you have done, what you are doing, what you will be doing, and simplistic date ranges in which these things will happen in. Typically, the Roadmap Slide is either located after the Market Slide or after the Traction Slide.

Roadmap Slide Example

Purpose of the Roadmap Slide

Without a clear picture of where you have been and where you are going, investors will have little clarity on what their money is going towards in the future of your company. Remember, “Money loves clarity.”

The Roadmap slide is all about painting this picture in a clear, simplistic manner that can be logically followed and connected to the points that you’ve made before about traction, new markets, etc.

The purpose of the Roadmap slide is to paint a short term, actionable picture and a long term, big vision picture (this can be broken into two slides).

Timeline(s) including:

  • What you have done

I've recently been obsessed with the balance of negative space, positive space, and how both the natural and man-made world can strike a balance between the two. These were all quick snaps with my phone of scenes and moments that I found interesting in the world...

Entrepreneur House: Year 1 in Review

Back in January of 2018, a group of friends and myself gathered to talk about what we could do to help and connect entrepreneurial students here at CU Boulder. We came up with tons of ideas from an online map that helped people meet up around campus to renting a house purely for entrepreneurs. Emails were sent out to groups and various schools on campus to figure out if students were looking to get into entrepreneurship or just to be involved in a community of driven people. In the end, the plans all revolved around one core idea: Surround yourself with people who push you to be better on a daily basis. We weren't only aiming for the purebred entrepreneur.
