Demo Day Prep: Build and Practice Your 3-Min Pitch
Demo day is days away. Build a tight visual deck and practice your 3-minute demo day pitch preparation with AI. Slides generate as you speak.
How It Works for Demo Day Prep
Step 01
Set your context
Enter your company name, co-founder's name, and your headline metric — users, revenue, or growth rate. This anchors the AI for the entire session.
Step 02
Run your 3-minute pitch out loud
Hit the mic and speak the pitch exactly how you'd say it on stage. Slides generate as you go — tagline for the opener, bullets for the problem, metrics callout for traction, team slide when you introduce yourselves.
Step 03
Edit in 15 minutes
Delete any slide that misunderstood a segment, fix copy, reorder if the flow needs it. You now have a working deck — not a rough outline.
Step 04
Run reps, not builds
By day 3, you're not building slides anymore. You're running full timed run-throughs, hitting the time limit, and cementing the delivery.
Features for Demo Day Preparation
Built for 3-minute precision
A 3-minute pitch session generates 6-8 slides — exactly the right count. If you're generating 15, you're packing in too much.
Traction metrics slide auto-generated
Say your strongest number — ARR, users, growth rate — and the AI generates a metrics callout slide that commands attention.
Team slide from your words
Introduce yourselves in the pitch and a team slide appears automatically with names and context.
8 layout types, AI-selected
The AI picks tagline, bullet, metrics, or team layouts based on what you're saying — so your slides never fight your story.
Update specific sections fast
If only traction or team slides need changing, re-run just those sections and merge the new slides into your existing deck.
Free tier covers demo day prep
A full 3-minute pitch session uses roughly 8-15 credits. The free tier's 50 credits gives you several full practice runs.
Why Founders Choose Talkpitch for Demo Day
Voice-first, not slide-first
The deck emerges from your pitch — not the other way around. You never read slides you barely practiced; you deliver a pitch you built slide by slide.
Prep starts on day 1, not day 4
Day 1: rough deck from first spoken run. Day 2: practice and iterate. Day 3: timed full runs. Day 4: rest. That's the right order.
Forces the right structure
6-8 slides for a 3-minute pitch. Anything more and you're rushing. Talkpitch makes over-building immediately visible.
Slides match what you say
Because you built the deck by speaking it, you know what's on every slide before it appears. No glancing at the screen. No freezing on a slide that doesn't match your words.
Works for YC, Techstars, and EU accelerators
2-minute YC pitches, 5-7 minute Techstars demos, EU accelerator formats — the workflow adapts to the time constraint and audience expectations.

Build your deck by speaking and practice your delivery in the same session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We have answers.
A working first draft, yes. Talkpitch generates slides in real-time as you speak. A 3-minute pitch run-through produces 6-10 rough slides in the session. You'll spend 15-30 minutes editing after, but you're editing a real deck, not building from scratch.
Don't wait until you have a perfect script. Talk through the pitch the way you'd explain it to a friend. The AI captures the structure from what you say. You'll see the shape of the pitch much faster by running it out loud than by thinking it through in your head.
Yes. Run a new Talkpitch session speaking through the updated sections. Compare the generated slides to your existing deck, pull the sections you need, and update. You can re-run just specific parts — traction, team — if only certain slides need to change.
Talkpitch generates clean, layout-appropriate slides using 9 template types. They look professional and clear, which is what matters on a demo day where slides are the backdrop, not the hero.
Yes, and Talkpitch helps indirectly. Because slides generate as you speak, you can see how much content you're generating per minute. A 3-minute pitch should produce 6-8 slides at most. If you're generating 15, you're packing in too much.
Yes. The free tier includes 50 AI credits per month. A full 3-minute pitch session uses roughly 8-15 credits. That gives you several full practice runs on the free tier before you'd need to upgrade.
