Hardware and robotics · Robotics deck
Robotics pitch decks from pilot to fleet.
Robotics investors want to see robots doing paid work in real conditions, and economics that improve with every unit built.
Fixed prices. No calls: you brief us in writing and comment in writing.
Deployment
Hours of paid work per robot
Illustration only. Any figures are invented for this sample slide.
Who reads it
Robotics and industrial investors.
Turnaround
5 business days for a design rebuild; 3 business days for an audit.
How it differs
How a robotics deck differs from a general pitch deck
A software deck can scale by adding users. A robotics deck has to show robots built, shipped, installed and kept running at each customer site. Investors look at field performance under real conditions: how often a person must step in, how much uptime the customer gets and how long installation takes. They read customer economics including integration and training. When robots are leased or sold as a service, they read the fleet like an asset base, asking about contract length, maintenance cost and what happens to a robot when a customer leaves.

Hours, throughput and reliability on site.
- 04
Customer economics
What the customer saves.
- 05
Business model
Sale, lease or robots as a service.

Unit cost path
Cost per robot as volume grows.
- 07
Manufacturing
Partner and capacity.

The questions behind every slide
What readers of a robotics deck ask
Each answer names the slide or document where it belongs. If a question has no home in your deck, the reader will ask it in writing, or stop reading.
- 1
How often does a person have to step in?
The deployment results slide should show interventions per operating hour, or a similar measure, tracked over time. Logs go in the deployment appendix.
- 2
What does a full deployment cost the customer, including integration?
The customer economics slide should include integration, safety equipment and training, not only the robot price. A cost breakdown sits in the appendix.
- 3
How long from signed contract to a robot doing paid work?
A deployment timeline on the business model slide states each step and the time to go live. It shows whether installations can scale.
- 4
What is uptime, and who fixes a robot when it stops?
An operations slide shows uptime and the service model: remote support, field technicians and spare parts. Service terms go in the data room.
- 5
Can a robot be redeployed if a customer leaves?
The business model slide should say how robots are recovered and reused. This matters most for robots sold as a service.
- 6
Do pilots turn into fleet orders?
The traction slide should show pilot-to-order conversion by customer, with unpaid pilots, paid pilots and fleet contracts labeled separately.
- 7
How much custom engineering does each new site need?
One line on the deployment slide states what changes between sites. Less custom work means faster rollout.
- 8
Which components come from a single supplier?
The manufacturing slide should name single-source parts and the backup plan. The supplier list goes in the data room.
Headline rewrites
Slide titles that say something.
A reader skims headlines first. A label tells them the topic; a sentence tells them the point. Bracketed figures are placeholders for your own numbers.

What you receive
Documents we produce
- Investor deck
- Deployment appendix
- One-page summary
Every file is delivered editable, in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote, with a PDF for sending. A robotics deck rebuild starts at $3,500; the full Raise Set with one-pager and teaser is $10,000.
Format
Length, versions and appendix
- Length
- Commonly 12 to 16 slides, with a deployment appendix.
- Send-ahead version
- PDF, plus a link to footage of a real deployment if you have it. The deck should still make sense without the footage.
- Presented version
- Show the robot working on a real site early, then move quickly to customer economics and pilot conversion.
What belongs in the appendix
- Deployment logs by site
- Customer cost breakdown
- Service model and spare parts plan
- Unit cost at current and planned volume
- Pilot conversion table

Glossary
Terms used in a robotics deck
- Intervention rate
- How often a person must step in to help or correct a robot, usually counted per hour or per task.
- Mean time between failures (MTBF)
- The average operating time between breakdowns.
- System integrator
- A firm that installs a robot into a customer's site, connecting it to equipment, safety systems and software.
- Robot cell
- A robot with its fixtures, safety guarding and controls, set up to do one task.
- Service level agreement (SLA)
- A contract term setting the uptime or response time the customer is promised.
- Redeployment
- Moving a robot from one customer or site to another after a contract ends.
