Developing a Pitch Deck for Metal Market Startup
At Blank we specialize in customized research and scouting for technological solutions. Among our recent public works are Venture Capital guides for the MENA market, with detailed reports on Turkey and the UAE available for review.
Our experience with numerous pitch presentations was relevant when the Metal Market startup approached us to create an investor pitch deck and a one-pager.
Project brief
Metal Market is a business-to-business (B2B) fintech-enabled steel marketplace that collaborates with Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). This partnership allows for the supply of goods on credit. The startup has a multinational team and is headquartered in India.
Having completed their pre-seed funding round, the founders were gearing up for a seed funding round and sought our consultation services.

What we did:
The founders of Metal Market approached us with a fully developed business model and proven traction. Our task was to adjust their pitch slides and one-pager for the new investment round. Here’s what we accomplished:
• We reformulated the market problem, highlighting the current need for digitalization in the Indian B2B steel market and identifying the primary beneficiary of this process.
• We shifted the startup's positioning, emphasizing its killer feature – credit scoring and partnerships with Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs).
• We highlighted an additional monetization opportunity through the project’s IT solutions, focusing on automated matchmaking.
• We included in the presentation the project's traction in India, adhering to a strategy of selling to investors not just the idea and scalability of the startup, but also the expertise of the founders, the team, and advisors.
• We simplified the visualization of the business model, technological solution, and value creation for verbal defense, ensuring the slide was easily understandable at a glance.
