LastVet — Investor Pitch Deck (Seed / $1.5M)

A 14-slide investor deck for the LastVet seed round. Editorial, predominantly dark/cinematic in the LastVet brand palette (teal/gold/navy) — deliberately not boilerplate PowerPoint and not sci-fi. Code-generated for reproducibility.

Deliverables

  • LastVet-Investor-Pitch.pptx — editable deck (Keynote / PowerPoint / Google Slides)
  • LastVet-Investor-Pitch.pdf — guaranteed-openable export for sending/viewing
  • speaker-notes.md — presenter notes (one section per slide)
  • previews/ — per-slide PNGs + contact-sheet.png for QA

Opening the deck

Do not open the .pptx inside Cursor — the IDE preview can't render PowerPoint binaries and will show "The file format is invalid." The files are fine.

Open in a real presentation app instead:

open -a Keynote decks/investor/LastVet-Investor-Pitch.pptx
# or
open -a "Microsoft PowerPoint" decks/investor/LastVet-Investor-Pitch.pptx

Or use the PDF (LastVet-Investor-Pitch.pdf) for read-only viewing anywhere.

Speaker notes live in speaker-notes.md, not inside the .pptx — embedding them via python-pptx breaks Keynote import.

Slide flow

  1. Title — "A parallel healthcare system, built for the veterans the existing one fails."
  2. The problem — the founder's own VA hotline call (lived experience = the moat)
  3. This is the system — the maze every veteran navigates; "functioning as designed"
  4. The thesis — a problem can't be solved from within the problem; build outside it
  5. What LastVet is — veteran-controlled record, source transparency, provider portal (app mock)
  6. The ecosystem — platform + six revenue subsidiaries (native hub-and-spoke)
  7. What's already live — infrastructure / VA integration / compliance status board
  8. Why now — the 24-month regulatory + market window (vertical timeline)
  9. Phase 1 revenue · Provider portal — tiers + ARR ramp chart
  10. Phase 1 revenue · Care Network — first-party telehealth, California launch (map)
  11. The full revenue vision — the ecosystem compounds (5-year stacked chart)
  12. Mission integrity — the red line; veterans are never the product
  13. The founder — Ryan Curry
  14. The ask — $1.5M, 18 months, use-of-funds + closing targets

Speaker notes are in speaker-notes.md (not embedded in the .pptx).

Regenerate

pip install python-pptx matplotlib pillow
cd decks/investor
python3 charts.py          # regenerate matplotlib charts -> assets/
python3 build_deck.py      # writes LastVet-Investor-Pitch.pptx
python3 render_preview.py  # writes previews/*.png + the .pdf

DECK_PPI=200 python3 render_preview.py renders a crisper PDF.

Assets

  • bg-dark.png — understated dark brand backdrop (no particles/neon)
  • app-mock.png — realistic iOS record screen with VA/LastVet/Provider source badges
  • map-ca.png — editorial US map, California (focus) + Texas (next)
  • chart-*.png — dark, transparent matplotlib charts (ARR curve, compounding, use-of-funds)
  • lastvet-mark.png — brand mark

Notes / decisions

  • Numbers/claims are reproduced verbatim from the founder's slide brief (tiers, MRR/ARR ramp, $129 visit / $79/mo, $46M Yr3, $1.5M use-of-funds 60/17/13/10).
  • Charts use light text on transparent backgrounds — they are designed to sit on the dark slides only.
  • Founder photo (slide 13): currently a brand-mark placeholder in a ring. Swap in a real headshot before sending externally (replace the add_picture call / ring in s13_founder).
  • Detailed financial model intentionally lives in the data room, not the deck (slide 11 shows the compounding shape, not line-item projections).
