Investor updates

Investor update presentation: the quarterly deck investors actually read

Upload last quarter's update or paste this quarter's figures and notes. Arcdeck drafts the update as headlines you can check, from the highlights and lowlights to the metrics, runway and what you need from your investors, then writes and designs every slide.

No card needed. 17 slide layouts, 42 templates, 12 languages.

You edit these headlines before a single slide is designed.

Try it with an example

Pick one and Arcdeck starts drafting it, or write your own.

What you get

Highlights, lowlights and asks first

One summary slide says what went well, what didn't and what you need, so an investor who reads nothing else still knows where the company stands.

The same metrics every time

KPIs become key-number cards and charts against plan and the last period. Duplicate last quarter's deck and change the figures, so investors compare like with like.

Revenue, burn and runway as charts

Growth, spend and months of runway are drawn as real charts from the figures you give, not pasted images.

Misses stated plainly

Each miss gets its own headline with the cause and what you've changed, which keeps investors' trust better than leaving it out.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Describe it or upload it

    A sentence is enough. Or add PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, a link, or pasted notes.

  2. Step 2

    Shape the storyline

    Arcdeck drafts the argument as headlines. Reorder, reword or cut them, then pick a template.

  3. Step 3

    Get the slides

    Every slide is written and designed, with charts and speaker notes. Present, share a link, or export.
