# Pitch Deck — Saudi Investor-Ready

## When to use

Owner is preparing to raise (angel/seed/Series A), pitch to MISA/STV/Wa'ed/Raed Ventures, or apply to Misk 500 / Saudi Unicorns.

## Standard 12-slide structure

1. **Title** — Company name, one-line tagline (English + Arabic), founder name, date.
2. **The Problem** — Specific painful problem with numbers (X% of Saudi SMBs struggle with Y, costing Z SAR/year).
3. **The Solution** — One-sentence what + visual of product.
4. **Market Size** — TAM (KSA + GCC), SAM, SOM. Cite Vision 2030 alignment if relevant.
5. **Product Demo** — 1-2 screenshots + key features. NOT a feature list dump.
6. **Business Model** — How money is made. Pricing tiers. Unit economics one-liner.
7. **Traction** — Logos, MRR, growth rate, retention. Cohort if available.
8. **Competition** — 2x2 matrix or feature comparison. Why we win in KSA.
9. **Go-to-Market** — Next 12 months: channels, milestones, customer acquisition plan.
10. **Team** — Founders + key advisors. Saudi connection (university, prior employer, family business).
11. **Financials** — Revenue + burn projection 36 months. Use of funds (% breakdown).
12. **Ask** — Round size, valuation expectation, timeline, lead investor sought.

## Saudi-investor specific signals

Investors here look for (more than US peers):
- **Vision 2030 alignment** — name which pillar (digital economy, SME growth, localization).
- **Saudization** — % of Saudi employees, plan to grow Saudi staff.
- **Local revenue** — % from KSA customers vs export.
- **CR + MISA license** — mention if registered, regulatory readiness.
- **Tadawul/Nomu pathway** — even if pre-revenue, sketch the eventual IPO route.
- **Founder commitment** — KSA-resident, full-time, equity skin in the game.

## Common rejection reasons (avoid)

- "Cool tech, no clear customer" — lead with the customer.
- "TAM too small" — show GCC + MENA expansion path, not just KSA.
- "Founder unproven" — emphasize prior wins, even small ones.
- "No moat" — be specific: regulatory, data, distribution, network effects.

## Output format

Generate as markdown with one `##` heading per slide. The user can paste into Google Slides / Pitch / Beautiful.ai. Include a `<!-- speaker notes -->` block under each slide with the 60-second talking points.

For the actual visual presentation, recommend either:
- **Pitch.deck.dev** (free, AI-assisted)
- **Beautiful.ai** (Saudi-friendly templates, Arabic support patchy)
- Custom in **Keynote/PowerPoint** with Tajawal or IBM Plex Sans Arabic font.

## Bilingual considerations

If pitching mixed Saudi + GCC + foreign investors:
- Slides in English (universal).
- Speaker notes in Arabic for the founder's reference.
- Have a one-page Arabic executive summary as a leave-behind.
