Pitch deck length: How long is too long?

Question

Is there such a thing as too much pitch?

Anything longer than 15 slides and you’re venturing into bedtime story territory. If investors start reaching for popcorn instead of their checkbooks, you’ve gone too far! 🍿

Don't make the pitch deck more than 15-20 slides long (investors have limited attention spans). Also, don't have too many wordy slides.
