Build your next fund on a stronger foundation

With our VC fund pitch deck template

Finding the right limited partners (LPs) is often the steepest hurdle for fund managers. Even with a strong track record, accessing LPs whose strategies align with your own requires more than just a network—it requires a narrative that resonates.

Carta has teamed up with Lyonshare, a strategic positioning agency that has helped VC funds secure over $10B in equity, to create a free pitch deck template. It's designed to help you generate more meetings and build lasting LP relationships.

What does a best-practice fundraising deck include?

  • A clear investment thesis: Define how your approach differs from other funds and why your strategy is positioned to win in the current market.

  • Unique differentiators: Demonstrate your team’s "superpower" and track record to prove that you're the right people to execute this vision.

  • Structural transparency: Ensure your management fees, carried interest, and portfolio construction are clear and aligned with investors' expectations.
