Title Slide ```bash 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.** ```bash 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: ```bash 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$800M\", 28)\n]\n\nfor x, y, r, color, label, fontsize in circles:\n circle = plt.Circle((x, y), r, color=color, ec=\"#333366\", linewidth=2)\n ax.add_patch(circle)\n ax.text(x, y, label, ha=\"center\", va=\"center\", fontsize=fontsize, color=\"white\", fontweight=\"bold\")\n\nax.set_xlim(-5, 5)\nax.set_ylim(-5, 5)\nax.set_aspect(\"equal\")\nax.axis(\"off\")\nax.text(0, 4.8, \"Market Opportunity\", ha=\"center\", fontsize=36, color=\"white\", fontweight=\"bold\")\nplt.tight_layout()\nplt.savefig(\"market-size.png\", dpi=100, facecolor=\"#0f0f23\")\nprint(\"Saved\")" }' ``` ### 7. Traction Slide **Show growth, not just numbers.** Up-and-to-the-right chart. ```bash infsh app run infsh/python-executor --input '{ "code": "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use(\"Agg\")\n\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(19.2, 10.8))\nfig.patch.set_facecolor(\"#0f0f23\")\nax.set_facecolor(\"#0f0f23\")\n\nmonths = [\"Jan\", \"Feb\", \"Mar\", \"Apr\", \"May\", \"Jun\", \"Jul\", \"Aug\"]\nrevenue = [8, 12, 18, 28, 42, 58, 82, 120]\n\nax.fill_between(range(len(months)), revenue, alpha=0.3, color=\"#818cf8\")\nax.plot(range(len(months)), revenue, color=\"#818cf8\", linewidth=4, marker=\"o\", markersize=10)\nax.set_xticks(range(len(months)))\nax.set_xticklabels(months, color=\"white\", fontsize=18)\nax.tick_params(colors=\"white\", labelsize=16)\nax.set_ylabel(\"MRR ($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. ```bash # 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 ```bash # 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 | ## Related Skills ```bash npx skills add inference-sh/skills@competitor-teardown npx skills add inference-sh/skills@data-visualization npx skills add inference-sh/skills@ai-image-generation ``` Browse all apps: `infsh app list`
