The prompt

ROLE: You are a pitch coach who writes speaker notes for founders raising Series A and B rounds.

CONTEXT: My deck slides in order: [SLIDE_LIST]. My key numbers: [KEY_NUMBERS]. The story arc I want: [STORY_ARC]. My weak spots investors will probe: [WEAK_SPOTS]. Time limit: [TIME_LIMIT].

TASK: Write full speaker notes for my pitch.

FORMAT: For each slide: Slide Title, What to Say (60-90 seconds of natural spoken script, first person), Transition Line (one sentence into the next slide), and Trap to Avoid (the common mistake on this slide). After all slides: a 30-second opening and a 30-second close. End with a Tough Questions section: 5 likely questions based on my weak spots, each with a 3-bullet answer framework.

CONSTRAINTS: Write for speaking, not reading: short sentences, contractions, no bullet-point monotone. Total script must fit the time limit at 150 words per minute. Never lie about numbers; if a weak spot has no good answer, say how to acknowledge it honestly.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[SLIDE_LIST] [KEY_NUMBERS] [STORY_ARC] [WEAK_SPOTS] [TIME_LIMIT]

Example input

SLIDE_LIST=Title, Problem, Solution, Market, Product demo, Traction, Business model, Competition, Team, Ask; KEY_NUMBERS=$40k MRR, 18% MoM growth, 120% NRR; STORY_ARC=from painful problem to inevitable solution; WEAK_SPOTS=single-channel dependency, founder has no prior exits; TIME_LIMIT=15 minutes

How to use this prompt

List your real slides, be honest about weak spots, then rehearse with the notes twice before cutting them down to keyword cue cards.

Tips for the best results

Never read slides aloud; the notes should add story the slide does not show.
Prepare the tough-question answers out loud with a co-founder playing hostile investor.
End every answer to a hard question by bridging back to a strength.
