Slidebean
Slidebean is an AI pitch deck builder for startup founders with automated design, investor analytics, financial models, and a human design agency.
Overview
Slidebean
Slidebean is an AI pitch deck builder aimed squarely at startup founders raising money. Slidebean generates slide content from a description of the company and applies design automatically — founders write, the layout takes care of itself — with per-slide viewer analytics showing which slides investors linger on. Around the software sits a fundraising stack: financial model templates, an investor-finder database, and a human design agency that builds decks for clients.
Production credibility: Founded 2014 by Jose 'Caya' Cayasso, Jose Enrique Bolaños, and Vinicio Chanto (Costa Rica; 500 Startups batch 11 alumni), profitably bootstrapped after ~$1.5M in early funding. Revenue about $6.3M in 2024 (GetLatka estimate). Vendor-reported: clients raised $500M+ in 18 months; its startup-education YouTube channel is one of the largest in the fundraising niche.
Key Features
- AI pitch-deck builder generating content from a startup description

Ideal Use Case
Founders preparing a raise — from first deck to data-room follow-ups — who want investor-specific structure, engagement analytics on every send, and the option to hand the deck to a human design team.
How Slidebean differentiates
Slidebean is a fundraising tool that happens to make slides, where Gamma, Beautiful.ai, and Canva are general-purpose. Its moats are the investor workflow — engagement tracking, financial models, investor database — and the agency arm behind the software. For anything other than pitch decks, the generalists are broader.
