Why unify deck and product UX for AI/SaaS
Founders close faster when their fundraising story, demo, and go‑to‑market surfaces form one coherent proof. This hub explains how Zypsy combines Series A decks, demo‑driven UI prototypes, and GTM visuals into a single, investor‑ready package—backed by case proof across AI and SaaS.
Series A decks: investor‑proof narratives tied to product reality
A strong AI/SaaS deck compresses evidence, not adjectives. We build decks and fundraising assets alongside the product surface so every claim is inspectable in the demo and on the site.
-
Story spine and slide order
-
Problem and category thesis (why now; market mechanics)
-
Product and architecture overview (incl. data sources, model usage, guardrails)
-
Proof moments: demo storyboard → clickable prototype
-
Traction signals (qualified design/usage metrics if early; pipeline proof; design partner quotes)
-
Business engine (pricing model, unit economics scaffolding, early retention/activation)
-
GTM (ICP, channel tests, website conversion points, content system)
-
Security/compliance (AI risks, data provenance, evals)
-
Roadmap (what unlocks the next proof point)
-
Team and the ask (capital plan mapped to milestones)

Demo story → UI prototypes: design the moment that proves it
Investors decide on the “moment of obvious value.” We script and design that moment, then build a prototype that stands up under questions.
-
Steps we run 1) Define the value question to answer in 90 seconds. 2) Map data flow and AI behavior (inputs, model calls, outputs, evals). 3) Draft a demo storyboard; align narrative captions and UI states. 4) Build clickable prototypes and micro‑interactions. 5) Instrument the demo for learnings (analytics plan for post‑meeting follow‑ups). 6) Package a short Loom/live script and investor FAQ.
