Dark ask slide with "RAISING" and "$1.5M" set huge along the bottom corners, an ideal-investor block at left, and a use-of-funds breakdown at center.
Summary
The ask: "RAISING" set huge at the bottom-left and "$1.5M" at the bottom-right, with an "ENDING REMARKS" pill, an ideal-investor block at left, and a use-of-funds breakdown down the center.
Visual description
Near-black background, running header (no section toggle here, just logo, title, and year). An "ENDING REMARKS" pill with a leading dot sits at upper-left. Center-left holds a small "IDEAL INVESTORS" block (access to advertiser budgets, PR relationships, 3-5 year exit horizon). The center column lists a use-of-funds breakdown in gray all-caps: $1.2M people ($500K leadership, $700K dev/talent/marketing/legal), $200K vendors, $100K events and T&E. A "(24 MONTHS RUNWAY TO PROFITABILITY)" note sits low. The headline pairs "RAISING" at the bottom-left with "$1.5M" at the bottom-right, both set very large in gray and partly running off the bottom edge.
Key takeaway
Splitting the headline number across the bottom corners ("RAISING" left, "$1.5M" right) so the amount reads as the slide's biggest element. Placing the use-of-funds breakdown and runway note between them answers the obvious follow-up questions on the same slide.
Reuse notes
A reusable ask slide. The corner-split raise headline is a confident way to state the number; keep the use-of-funds and runway concise so they do not compete with it. Works on dark with the giant gray figures; the bottom-bleed type needs enough margin to stay readable.
