Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

What do AI Series A investors look for?

AI Series A investors want: $1M+ ARR with strong retention proving AI value isn't novelty, improving model economics (cost per inference decreasing), clear competitive moat (data, distribution, or technical), enterprise readiness, and a path to gross margins above 60%.

How important are gross margins for AI startups at Series A?

Critical. AI companies often have lower gross margins (50-60%) vs. traditional SaaS (75-85%) due to inference costs. Series A investors want to see margins improving and a clear path to 70%+ through model optimization, caching, and efficient architecture. Show the trend, not just current state.

What revenue quality matters for AI Series A?

Revenue quality signals: annual contracts (not monthly), low logo churn (<5%), expanding usage within accounts, and revenue not concentrated in <5 customers. AI companies that grew fast on hype but have high churn will struggle at Series A.

How do I show AI competitive moat at Series A?

Three defensible positions: proprietary data that improves over time (most defensible), deep product integration that creates switching costs (second best), or brand/distribution advantage in a vertical (fastest to achieve). Model architecture alone is rarely a moat — it's too easy to replicate.

What should my AI Series A raise cover?

AI Series A rounds ($5-15M) should fund: scaling the GTM team, infrastructure for enterprise customers, model optimization for profitability, and 24 months of runway. Be explicit about compute costs and show they scale sub-linearly with revenue growth.
