A presentation system, not a template pack. Five slides showing how the parts behave — the rest of a deck is built from the same pieces.
Deck system · pitch concept
Slides that survive a partner meeting.
Most deck templates are built for slides with four words on them. Life-science and venture decks are the opposite problem: too much real data, and every number has to stay readable and stay honest. This system is built for the dense end.
On a phone the slides reflow to stay readable. Open on a laptop to see them at 16:9.
01 / TitleSerif display, one accent word, art bleeding off the right edge
Fund III · Confidential
Early capital for the data that decides.
Lead positions in therapeutics, from first data to Phase 2. Fund II: five companies, two in the clinic, one partnered.

“We would rather report a quiet quarter honestly than a good one early. That is the whole thesis, in year nine.”

SystemWhat holds the five together
Type
Newsreader
Display and pull quotes. A serif reads as institutional, not startup.
Inter
Body, tables, labels. Tabular numerals on every figure so columns line up.
Color
One accent per slide. The orange marks the single thing the room should look at. Everything else is ink, paper and gray — which is what makes the orange work.
Rhythm
Dark · Light · Light · Light · Dark
Dark slides open and close; the data lives on light. A deck that alternates every slide is exhausting to sit through and impossible to print.
Scaling
Container query units
Every size is set in cqw, so a slide is identical at 1280px and on a projector. Nothing is hand-nudged per slide.

A week ($1,995) is usually enough for a data-heavy deck; it is credited in full to a plan.
