One of the common slides for a startup pitchdeck is the product roadmap.
This is where you map out all the prototypes or main development stages up until you launch your MVP.
It looks cool but often it’s pure guesswork.
At this early stage you are validating assumptions and often you’ll learn things that you didn’t expect.
You may need to go backwards and try a new approach.
Ok so maybe don’t ditch the roadmap but make it clear that “at this moment in time it’s what we plan to do; but we know that things will change”.
Maybe add a list of things that you have learned along the way.
Investors will be more impressed that you are learning and that you can adapt and change when needed.
So maybe replace the slide with “Things we learned along our roadmap journey”
