Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about getting your pitch deck investor-ready

What do consumer investors look for in a pitch deck?

Consumer investors evaluate: retention curves (D1, D7, D30), viral coefficient (K-factor), engagement depth (DAU/MAU ratio), organic vs. paid growth split, and a clear monetization path. They want to see habit-forming behavior, not just downloads.

What retention rates do consumer investors expect?

Benchmark consumer app retention: D1 >40%, D7 >20%, D30 >10% is considered good. Social apps need higher (D30 >25%). If your D30 retention is below 10%, investors will pass regardless of your download numbers. Fix retention before raising.

How do I show virality to investors?

Quantify your K-factor (invites per user x conversion rate). Show the specific viral loops: user-generated content that attracts new users, social sharing mechanics, invite incentives, and network effects where the product gets better with more users.

When should I monetize my consumer app?

Most consumer investors prefer you focus on engagement and retention first, monetize second. But you should have a clear monetization strategy in your deck: ads, subscriptions, transactions, or a combination. Show comparable companies and their monetization timelines.

How much do I need to raise for a consumer app?

Consumer apps typically need $500K-2M at pre-seed/seed to get to meaningful scale (100K+ users). Budget for user acquisition testing, engineering, and 12-18 months of runway. Consumer is capital-intensive because you need scale to prove the model works.
