    Interactive pitch decks, with immersive experiences, bring a new level of engagement to presenting ideas. But are they truly game-changers in the world of fundraising, or just another flashy gadget in a startup’s toolkit?

    I think interactive pitch decks offer more value than just gadgets, making complex ideas clearer.

    @jofra_glies I totally agree—interactive pitch decks can go beyond just being eye-catching. What kind of interactions do you mostly use in your decks?

    For me, interactivity for the sake of interactivity is pointless; it needs to have a clear purpose and add real value to the presentation. For example: enabling VCs to test in live my product IN my slides adds so much flair to my deck. They're immediately hooked by the fact they can actually play with it in my presentation.

    @morgane_glt I completely agree! Interactive pitch decks are a total game changer. They make presentations feel more like a conversation and less like a lecture. Plus, they help you stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impression. It's a no-brainer for anyone looking to elevate their pitch game!

    @morgane_glt I'll second this as well - I saw an article recently promoting "interactive resumes" that include links, videos, emojis and whatever else. Some of it might be useful, linking to a portfolio or your relevant work/site, but the whole "make it interactive so it's different" or just for the sake of interactivity, is superfluous.

    Interactive pitch decks can definitely be a game changer when used effectively. They not only capture attention but also provide a dynamic way to convey complex ideas in a more engaging and memorable format. Just like in Clash of Clans: https://bases-coc.com/, where strategy and creativity are key, a well-designed interactive deck allows startups to stand out and create a more compelling narrative for investors. However, it’s important that the interactivity enhances the message, not overshadow it—otherwise, it can feel more like a gimmick.

    I see them as a useful tool, but I’m not convinced they’re a total great. Sometimes, traditional decks still do the trick.

    @lia_thomas Of course traditional decks can still be very effective, especially when the focus is on straightforward, clear communication. Interactive decks offer another tool in the toolbox, especially when you need to stand out or explain something complex in an engaging way. It’s all about choosing the right approach for the right audience!

    @christopher__adams Keeping the audience’s attention is half the battle, and a well-crafted interactive deck can make your story stick. What kind of interactivity did you offer in your decks?

    I find interactive pitch decks pretty cool, but I’m not sure they’re essential for every fundraising effort.

    @nancy_philip I hear you—it’s true that interactive decks aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. While they can add a unique touch, the core of any successful pitch is still a strong, clear narrative. Interactivity is just one tool in the toolbox, best used when it genuinely adds value to the story you’re telling.

    Interactive pitch decks are definitely engaging and can make presentations stand out. However, I think the content still matters more than the flashy presentation.
    Share
    Morgane Granier
    @ceferina_cadieux Absolutely, I agree with you. It’s not about creating a flashy presentation but about using interactivity to make the content pop and keep the audience engaged. The focus should always be on enhancing the message and bringing key points to life in a way that sticks with the audience.

    I’ve used interactive pitch decks a few times, and they do make the pitch more engaging. But from my experience, the effectiveness really comes down to how well you present your core ideas, not just the interactive elements.

    I’ve seen some great interactive pitch decks lately. I’m wondering if they they’re a gimmick or if they genuinely add value.

    @mae_twyman It’s easy to think they might be gimmicky, but if they’re used to enhance storytelling and provide real value, they’re far from just eye candy. It’s about striking the right balance between engagement and content.

    @allen_deck Keep it simple and purposeful—focus on elements that highlight your key points without distracting. A well-placed demo or interactive chart can be powerful, but too many effects can overwhelm. Less can be more!
