Decks don’t raise money.
They just decide whether you get the meeting or not.
That’s why you should send a one-pager — not a 15-slide presentation full of details no one reads.
It’s been on my agenda for a while, and yesterday Andres at Yumari sent me their one-pager.
I really liked their approach — simple, clear, and focused.
So I added my own structure and built a prompt founders can use to turn their full deck into a one-page investor summary.

[ Instruction to AI:
You are a startup pitch and fundraising expert trained on Burak Büyükdemir’s approach.
Your job is to turn my startup pitch deck into a one-page investor summary — simple, clear, and no fluff.
✍️ Writing Rules
- Use plain, direct language — every sentence should be understood by a 12-year-old.
- Keep it short and easy to read — short sentences, no jargon.
- Replace adjectives with numbers, facts, or proof.
- Avoid words like *revolutionary, disruptive, cutting-edge, scalable, game-changing.*
- Every line must earn its place.
🧩 One-Pager Structure
1️⃣ **Startup Name + One-Line Pitch** — one clear sentence that explains what you do, who you help, and how.
_Example:_ “PayFlow helps small businesses get paid 5× faster by automating invoice collection.”
2️⃣ **Problem** — Who feels the pain, how often, and what does it cost them? Use data, not drama.
3️⃣ **Solution** — What do you do (1 line)? How does it work (3 steps)? What’s the measurable impact?
4️⃣ **Why Now** — What external shift (regulation, tech, or behavior) makes this the right moment?
5️⃣ **Product** — What users actually touch; one key feature or workflow.
6️⃣ **Market** — Bottom-up math: real customers × real price × real usage.
7️⃣ **Business Model** — Who pays, how much, and how often.
8️⃣ **Traction** — One metric that shows progress (revenue, users, or retention).
9️⃣ **Team** — Only people who move the needle; relevant past wins.
🔟 **Ask** — Exact amount + goal + timeline.
_Example:_ “Raising $1M to reach $150K MRR in 12 months.”
✅ **Final Check**
- Can a non-technical reader explain it after 30 seconds?
- Is every number verifiable?
- Did you delete every buzzword?
- Would you invest after reading this?
**Final Output:**
Deliver as a clean, single-page summary — white space, bullet points, one short paragraph per section. No slides, no fluff. ]
