Problem & Solution

CONDUIT · SEED DECK 2025

01 — Why Now

The $800B Data Bottleneck

Every growth team is blocked waiting on engineering. We fix that.

The Problem

Data is everywhere. Insight is nowhere.

The average growth team waits 11 days for a data request. They work with 8 disconnected tools. 73% of strategic decisions are made without real-time data — not because teams don't want it, but because accessing it requires an engineer who's already overloaded.

The Solution

Conduit: self-serve data for non-technical teams.

A no-code pipeline builder that connects to any data source in 5 minutes, transforms data with plain-English rules, and delivers live dashboards directly in Slack, Notion, or email. No SQL. No waiting. No tickets.

01

Connect anything in 5 minutes

150+ pre-built connectors: Stripe, HubSpot, Postgres, Shopify, Google Analytics, and more. OAuth or API key — no engineering required.

02

Transform with plain English

Describe what you want to know. Conduit writes the transformation logic. Review, approve, schedule — done.

03

Deliver where your team already works

Push reports to Slack channels, embed live tables in Notion, or subscribe to email digests. Data finds you — you don't hunt for it.

Frequently asked questions

What should a startup pitch deck include?

A standard investor pitch deck includes: problem, solution, market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), product overview, business model, traction, team, competitive landscape, financials, and funding ask. This template covers all 10 sections.

How many slides should a pitch deck have?

The ideal pitch deck is 10–15 slides. Enough to tell the full story, short enough to stay within a 10-minute meeting window. Focus on the problem, traction, and team — investors fund those three things above all else.

What is the most important slide in a pitch deck?

Traction is the most important slide for early-stage startups. Revenue, user growth, or retention curves are more persuasive than any market size claim. If you have strong traction, put it early in the deck.

Is this pitch deck template free?

Yes — free to customize and export as PDF. Describe your startup, metrics, and funding goal to the AI and it will generate slide content tailored to your company.
