Anybotics, a Swiss robotics startup, recently received an impressive $50 million in Series B fundraising. While much of the company’s success can be attributed to the innovation of its products, its pitch deck also played an integral role in raising venture capital.
Having secured so much funding, the pitch deck must have been top notch — and fortunately, Anybotics’ deck is now public for everyone to see and learn from. Here’s a look at the deck and our thoughts on how well it did its job.
First off, it’s clear that Anybotics put a lot of care into structuring its deck. Each slide is replete with lots of information, but none of the slides feel overcrowded. Colorful graphics, minimalist typography, and brief descriptions all help to keep readers’ attention and explain the company’s story in a way that’s easy to comprehend.
The deck also understands the needs of venture capitalists, and it targets several key questions. In the first few slides, Anybotics emphasize the company’s problems with the potential solutions it plans to offer. They also place a strong emphasis on their outstanding team, which gives investors a sense of security that the company has the right personnel to succeed.
At the heart of the deck is a strong emphasis on financials — showing potential investors that the company is making money. Among these slides are numerous graphs showcasing the business’s growth across various customer segments. This data helps the company to emphasize its progress and the fact that it is bringing innovative ideas to life.
Finally, at the end of the deck, Anybotics makes its ask: How much money it would like to receive, how it plans to deploy these resources, and how this new funding will help investors to double their money. This section is especially important for convincing VCs that the investment will be a good decision.
Ultimately, when it comes to pitching, a pitch deck is only as effective as the story it tells. Anybotics managed to successfully put together a compelling pitch deck that showcased its strength and potential. Beyond this deck’s impressive financials and emphatic team, the deck told a story that resonated with investors — and it looks like the story paid off.
