Aerospace pitch deck design on a hardware clock, not a software one.
Space investors have watched a lot of projections meet a hardware schedule and lose. What earns credibility is a deck that prices its own timeline honestly: where the technology actually sits on the readiness scale, what is under signed contract rather than under discussion, and which customer is anchoring the next milestone.

N° 01What space decks get wrong
Four ways to lose a technical investor.
01
A revenue curve drawn on a software clock
Hardware qualification, launch slots and on-orbit demonstration do not compress the way software releases do. A ramp that ignores that is the single fastest way to signal that the model was built by someone who has not shipped hardware.
02
Readiness stated as adjectives
"Flight-proven", "near-ready" and "mature" mean nothing to this reader. Technology readiness has a scale, and naming where each subsystem sits on it — with what evidence — is more persuasive than any amount of confidence.
03
A manifest that is really a wish list
Launch access is either contracted or it is not. Signed agreements, deposits paid and a named provider read very differently from a slide implying a slot that has not been bought.
04
Pipeline presented as revenue
Letters of intent, study contracts and firm orders are three different things, and a technical investor separates them instinctively. Merging them into one bar destroys trust in every other number.
N° 02What we design
The slides that survive diligence.
01
The readiness and qualification map
Subsystem by subsystem, where it sits, what testing has been done, and what the next round of funding actually retires. It is the slide that turns an engineering plan into an investment case.
02
The revenue-mix slide
Government and commercial revenue behave differently — one is slower and non-dilutive, the other is faster and more fragile. Showing the mix, and the dependency, is more convincing than showing a single total.
03
The anchor customer
Who has committed, to what, and on what condition. One named anchor with a real contract does more work than a market-size chart, because it converts a technology story into a demand story.
04
Export control, handled up front
Cap table, nationality of key staff and hardware classification carry real constraints in this sector. Investors raise it in diligence anyway; addressing it in the deck reads as competence rather than exposure.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- How much technical detail belongs in the main deck?
- Enough to establish that the hard problem is understood and where it stands, then stop. Subsystem detail, test reports and analysis belong in an appendix you can reach when asked — which in this sector you usually are.
- We are pre-revenue with a long build. What carries the deck?
- Readiness, the anchor customer, and what this round retires. A pre-revenue hardware company is funded on de-risking milestones, so the deck's spine is which risk this money removes and how you will know it worked.
- Should we show government contracts separately?
- Yes. Non-dilutive government revenue and commercial revenue tell different stories about the same company, and blending them hides the one an investor most wants to see.
- Do you handle export-control sensitivity in the design?
- We design around what you tell us cannot be shown, the same way we do for non-confidential biotech decks. If a diagram or a customer name cannot appear, the deck has to work without it.
- Do you work on defence applications?
- No. We design for civil and commercial aerospace and space, and we will say so rather than take the work and be unhelpful.
- Can you make a technical deck readable to a generalist?
- That is most of the job. The aim is a deck a specialist cannot fault and a generalist can follow — which usually means the specialist detail is present but never in the reader's way.

Raising for hardware?
Tell us where the technology sits, what is contracted, and what this round retires. We'll come back with the structure we'd build and an honest read on the timeline.
