About Zlides Blog

Learn how to create presentations that shine with expert tips and insights from years of working with startups.

Hello, I’m Felix, founder of Zlides and a passionate advocate for impactful pitch deck design. Over the past decade, I’ve worked closely with startups from Europe to APAC, orchestrated business events, and supported countless founders in crafting presentations that open doors. I started this blog to demystify the pitch deck process and help you bring bold ideas to life.

My Mission

To help you create memorable pitch decks that captivate audiences, win clients, and secure investment. I’ve seen how a powerful story, told visually, can transform a room and I want you to experience that confidence every time you present.

Why Pitch Deck Design Matters

A winning pitch deck is more than a collection of slides, it’s the bridge between your vision and the outcomes you seek. Whether you’re seeking investment, winning clients, or aligning your team, an effective presentation shapes first impressions and drives results.

A compelling story: The right narrative transforms ideas into action and inspires your audience to believe in your potential.
Clear objectives: A strong pitch deck keeps your focus sharp, highlighting goals and what sets your solution apart.
Trust and credibility: Professionally designed decks boost your authority and show you’ve thought through every detail.
Data-driven impact: Quality design blends facts, visuals, and clarity so your message is remembered and acted upon.

My passion for pitch deck design comes from years of helping startups communicate their value in high-stakes situations, seeing firsthand how the best presentations open doors, win funding, and create lasting business momentum. That’s why I’m here to help you craft presentations that aren’t just beautiful, but truly effective.
