Lilac Glass Pitch Deck

When to use

• You are pitching investors, partners, or a grant panel and your brand is soft, calm, or wellness-adjacent rather than aggressive
• Your existing deck is a wall of bullet points and you want one idea per slide with room to breathe
• You need a deck that still reads when forwarded as a PDF with no presenter in the room
• You are pitching a consumer, health, education, or design-led product where the deck itself is part of the brand impression
• You want a distinctive visual system — lilac light on frosted glass — instead of another navy-and-white template

Workflow

1. Lock the glass system (input: your brand colors → output: a 5-rule style sheet)
   Define the system before any slide content: background — deep charcoal-plum; panels — frosted translucent white at low opacity with a soft blur edge; accent — lilac (light purple) used only for the one most important element per slide; type — white headlines, soft-grey body; one rule — no slide may use more than two panel layers, so depth never becomes clutter. Write the five rules down and hand them to the AI with every slide request. If a slide breaks a rule, the rule wins — change the slide, not the rule.
2. Write the 10-slide spine (input: your pitch story → output: one-line spine)
   Draft the deck as ten one-line slides before designing anything: 1) Hook — the one sentence that makes a stranger care. 2) Problem — a specific pain, with a real person in it. 3) Solution — your product in one sentence, no features list. 4) How it works — three steps, no more. 5) Market — who pays, how many, how you count them. 6) Proof — the strongest evidence you actually have. 7) Business model — how money flows, in plain numbers. 8) Competition — the honest map, with your edge named. 9) Team — why these people, in one line each. 10) Ask — exactly what you want, and what it buys. If a slide's one-liner needs a comma-splice to fit, the idea is two ideas — split it or cut it.
3. Build slides one idea at a time (input: spine + style sheet → output: slide drafts)
   Build each slide from its one-liner: one headline that states the idea (not a label — "Parents pay $40/month for tutoring that doesn't work" beats "Problem"), one frosted panel carrying the single supporting fact, figure, or image, and nothing else. The lilac accent highlights exactly one element per slide: the number, the quote, or the ask. A slide with two lilac highlights has no highlight — pick one. Speaker notes carry everything that didn't fit on the slide.
