Then, eventually, Oak Business Consultant remained as the Financial Analyst along with a 20% share in the business.
The SaaS startup client wanted an enrapturing pitch deck that would bring its business plan to life and provides the audience with all its relevant aspects. The client’s business revolved around offering Software as a solution to luxurious private jets operators, including other services.

The client has streamlined the process of creating the pitch deck by giving us a clear vision of who the audience will be. However, creating a pitch deck befitting the client’s needs required a ton of market research.
Moreover, the business is one of a kind and has close to zero competitors. Therefore, the entire burden of getting the right research and analysis was on Oak Business Consultant’s shoulders.

All the research and calculations were to be done on our part and make use of the client’s Financial Model also created by Oak Business Consultant and market analysis for the pitch deck.
It is crucial in a pitch deck to decide an adequate number of pages that would serve the purpose of communicating the whole idea of the business within the least amount of time. Therefore, the number of pages ranges from 10 to 25 pages depending on the client’s needs.
