PowerPoint Makeovers: The Reddit Pitch Deck
Can you remember a time when there was no Reddit? Itâs hard to imagine in 2021⊠it would have been hard to imagine in 2011. When Reddit hit the scene as the front page of the internet in 2005, who could have known it would grow to become a zeitgeist of our time?
Founded by college buddies Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, Reddit was part of the now-legendary Y-Combinator programâs first class of startups. The pair of University of Virginia students envisioned an online bulletin board where users could post videos, text and links to other websites⊠sound familiar?
Thanks to that all-important Y Combinator seed funding, Reddit launched with a blast and within just about a year, the growing website was purchased by Conde Nast , publisher of major brands such as Vogue, GQ and Wired. Growth steadily continued, and Reddit reached 1 billion page views per month by early 2011, which it doubled by the next year. From there, the popularity only continued to increase exponentially.
Of course, no company rides the wave of incredible growth without funding, and Reddit â operating independently from Conde Nast since 2011 â was no exception. In 2014, Reddit raised a pivotal $50 million in funding thanks to a round led by former Y Combinator president Sam Altman. Other key players in the funding round , however, included names such as Jared Leto, Joshua Kushner and Snoop Dogg.
More than 52 million Redditors now have access to over 100,000 communities at their fingertips, including popular topics ranging from âgadgetsâ and âtelevisionâ to the practical âbuild a PCâ and âpersonal finance.â In August 2021, Reddit was valued at $9.6 billion . To get there, however, Redditâs founders started with a pitch.
We took a look at the pitch deck Reddit used for that all-important 2014 funding round, and we have to say it reminds us a lot of the company itself: quirky, fun and memorable. You canât argue that kittens and unicorns make a strong impression⊠but was it the most professional impression? If youâre Reddit, you can probably get away with extra quirkiness, but not every company is looking to attract investors like Snoop Dogg.
So, we decided to redesign the pitch deck and give it the Beautiful.ai treatment. We think our version is just as fun, but our design is more cohesive, and it includes better branding. We let our AI take care of the structure, making sure every slide was constructed using professional-level principles of good design any time content is added.Â
What do you think? Do you like our PowerPoint makeover ? Is our redesigned Reddit pitch deck , âbeautiful?âÂ
Itâs easy to spend hours tweaking every design detail in a traditional PowerPoint presentation. Are the margins all the same? Are elements consistent? Is the color scheme cohesive? Instead, save tons of time using Beautiful.ai by preselecting a custom theme and automatically applying style options like typography and color palettes to each slide.
We set the theme of our Reddit pitch deck makeover by selecting the brandâs colors, and we polished off our deck by adding the companyâs logo to the footer of every slide. To customize our pitch deck template , just change the colors and logo to match your own.
Slide 1: Reddit Title
Donât get us wrong. Redditâs original 2014 pitch deck opened with an eye-catching and memorable image of a kitten riding a unicorn. How can you top that? We gave the title slide a more professional and branded twist with our Headline slide template , complete with the company logo pulled from our vast, searchable library of photos, icons and logos.
Slides 2-4: Reddit by the Numbers
Redditâs 2014 pitch deck featured a few slides that highlighted Redditâs achievements to date. While we admire a line chart superimposed over a curious kitty cat staring into space, we decided to stick with a more simple, branded approach. We selected our Line Chart Smart Slide template , and simply input the same data from Redditâs original graph. Voila! Artificial intelligence transformed the figures into a vivid infographic in the pre-set color scheme. We brought the slide to life by animating it with just a couple of clicks.
Redditâs pitch deck featured other slides featuring a hodgepodge of statistics, such as the companyâs total monthly visitors and pageviews. Plenty of solid information, but the slides were⊠busy. We took a less cluttered and more organized approach and chose two of the facts to feature on their own Headline slide templates . The simple presentation will grab attention and create emphasis. Once you have your audienceâs attention, you can verbally highlight the other statistics.
Slide 5: AdAge Quote
We love a good quote. Redditâs 2014 pitch deck featured a brag-worthy statement from AdAge , marveling that the website had become, âmainstream media.â The quote was obviously important to Reddit â and effective â so we kept it in our redesigned slide deck using our Quotes Smart Slide template . Our custom color palette and typography were automatically applied to the slide, and we added a free stock photo from our image library for some extra pizzazz.
Slides 6-7: Engagement
We wanted to include some more newsworthy facts from Redditâs pitch deck, but we decided to present them in a more engaging and organized format. We chose our Arrow Bars Smart Slide template to present five facts, and we animated the infographic to keep our audience engaged.
We added additional Reddit statistics to our Team Members Smart Slide template . Normally used to introduce people, the format was perfect for describing details of three popular subreddits.
Slide 8-9: Ad Opportunities
The next slides in Redditâs 2014 pitch deck were more cluttered examples. We presented the companyâs all-important advertising opportunities using our Headline slide template : short, sweet and to the point. We easily sourced an engaging stock photo from our free image library, and, of course, the colors automatically adjusted to match Redditâs brand. We further recounted Redditâs stated engagement opportunities for brands using our Photo Grid Smart Slide templates .
Slide 11: Relevant, Reliable, Real
Reddit closed its 2014 pitch deck with a powerful statement . Reddit wanted potential investors to know it was relevant, reliable and real. While we compliment the company again on its creative use of kittens, we chose to highlight the statement using our Headline slide template along with a colorful community of Redditors. The slide was a breeze to create thanks to our preselected theme.
Slide 12: Contact Us
Any good pitch is going to leave potential investors with the companyâs contact details, and we had just the slide template to do the job. We recreated Redditâs final slide using our Contact Us Smart Slide template . The Beautiful.ai template provides fields to input information like name, address, phone number and email address, then our AI perfectly positions the information using the principles of great design .Â
So, what did you think of our PowerPoint makeover ? Did we improve upon the Reddit pitch deck, or did you miss the kittens? Either way, was our design, âbeautiful?â

Want to prevent yawns and glazed-over eyes? Before you deliver your next speech, pitch or address, learn how to create exceptional slides by following these rules (with real before-and-afters).
Slides are an expected and crucial part of most speeches, presentations, pitches and addresses. They can simplify complex information or messages, showcase relevant images, and help hold an audienceâs attention. But quite often, the best slides arenât those that make people sit up and comment on how good they are; instead, theyâre the ones that people take in without really noticing because the content is effortlessly conveyed and matches the speakerâs words so well.
These days, showing high-quality slides is more important than ever. âWeâre living in a visual culture,â says Paul Jurczynski , the cofounder of Improve Presentation and one of the people who works with TED speakers to overhaul their slides. âEverything is visual. Instagram is on fire, and you donât often see bad images on there. The same trend has come to presentations.â
He says there is no “right” number of slides. However, it’s important that every single one shown — even the blank ones (more on those later) — be, as Jurczynski puts it, âconnected with the story youâre telling.â Here, he shares 6 specific tips for creating the most effective slides. ( Note: All of the examples below were taken from the actual slides of TED speakers. )
1. Do keep your slides simple and succinct
âThe most common mistake I see is slides that are overcrowded. People tend to want to spell everything out and cover too much information,â says Jurczynski. Not only are these everything-but-the-kitchen-sink slides unattractive and amateurish, they also divert your audienceâs attention away from what youâre saying. You want them to listen to the words that you slaved over, not get distracted by unscrambling a jam-packed slide.
âThe golden rule is to have one claim or idea per slide. If you have more to say, put it on the next slide,â says Jurczynski. Another hallmark of a successful slide: The words and images are placed in a way that begins where the audienceâs eyes naturally go and then follows their gaze. Use the position, size, shape and color of your visuals to make it clear what should come first, second and so on. âYou donât just control what the audience sees; you have to control how they see it,â says Jurczynski.
BEFORE: Too crowdedÂ
After: easy to absorb.
2. Do choose colors and fonts with care
Colors and fonts are like the herbs and spices of your presentation. When used wisely and with intention, they’ll enhance your slides; but when tossed in haphazardly, theyâll make it an unappealing mess.
Letâs start with color. âColor is a key way to communicate visually and to evoke emotion,â says Jurczynski. âIt can be a game changer.â Your impulse might be to pick your favorite hue and start from there, but he advises, âitâs important to use color with a purpose.â For example, if youâre giving a presentation about a positive topic, youâll want to use bright, playful colors. But if youâre speaking about a serious subject such as gun violence or lung cancer, youâd probably go for darker or neutral colors.
While itâs fine to use a variety of colors in your presentation, overall you should adhere to a consistent color scheme, or palette. âThe good news is you donât need a degree in color theory to build a palette,â says Jurczynski. Check out one of the many free sites — such as Coolors or Color Hunt — that can help you assemble color schemes.
With fonts, settle on just one or two, and make sure they match the tone of your presentation. âYou don’t have to stick to the fonts that you have in PowerPoint,â or whatever program youâre using, says Jurczynski. âPeople are now designing and sharing fonts that are easy to install in different programs. Itâs been an amazing breakthrough.â Experiment. Try swapping a commonly used font like Arial for Lato or Bebas , two of many lesser known fonts available online. Most important: âUse a big enough font, which people often forget to do,â advises Jurczynski. Your text has to be both legible and large enough to read from the back of the room, he recommends — about 30 points or so.
BEFORE: Weak and hard-to-read font, muddy colorsÂ
AFTER: Strong font, color that’s striking but not jarring
3. Don’t settle for visual cliches
When youâre attempting to illustrate concepts, go beyond the first idea that comes to your mind. Why? The reason it appears so readily may be because itâs a clichĂ©. For example, âa light bulb as a symbol for innovation has gotten really tired,â says Jurczynski. Other oft-used metaphors include a bullâs-eye target or shaking hands. After youâve come up with your symbol or idea, he advises people to resist the lure of Google images (where there are too many low-quality and clichĂ©d choices) and browse other free image sites such as Unsplash to find more unique visuals. One trick: If you do use stock, amp it up with a color overlay (as in the pic at the top of this article) or tweak it in some other way to counteract — or at least muffle — its stock-i-ness.
One potential source of pictures is much closer at hand. âIf it fits the storyline, I encourage people to use their own images,â says Jurczynski. âLike one TED Talk where the speaker, a doctor, used photos of his experience treating people in Africa. That was all he needed. They were very powerful.â Major caveat: Any personal photos must support your speech or presentation. Do not squander your audience’s precious time by showing them a gratuitous picture of your children or grandparents — beautiful as they may be.
BEFORE: Fake-looking stock photo to illustrate teamworkÂ
After: eye-catching photo of nature to illustrate teamwork.
4. Don’t get bogged down by charts and graphs
Less is also more when it comes to data visualization. Keep any charts or graphs streamlined. When building them, ask yourself these questions:
What do I want the audience to take away from my infographic?
Why is it important for them to know this?
How does it tie into my overall story or message?
You may need to highlight key numbers or data points by using color, bolding, enlarging or some other visual treatment that makes them pop.
Maps are another commonly used infographic. Again, exercise restraint and use them only if they enhance your talk. âSometimes, people put a map because they donât know what else to show,â says Jurczynski. He suggests employing labels, color schemes or highlighting to direct your audience where to look. He adds, if you have the skill or know an artist, âyou may even consider a hand-drawn map.â
BEFORE: Yikes! What’s important?!? AFTER: The takeaway is clear
5. don’t be scared of blank slides.
It may seem counterintuitive, but at certain points in your speech or pitch, the best visual is ⊠no visual at all. âAt the beginning, I was not a fan of blank slides,â says Jurczynski. âBut the more talks I’ve seen, the more a fan I am of them, because sometimes you want all the attention on yourself and you don’t want people distracted by what they see in the slides. Or, you might use them to give the audience a visual break from a series of slides. Or maybe you want to shift the mood or tempo of the presentation.â
The blank slide is the visual equivalent of a pause, and most stories could use at least one. And with blank slides, Jurczynski has one main âdonâtâ: âYou cannot use white blank slides, because if you do, people will see it and think something is broken.â
6. Do remember to practice
The easiest way to figure out if your slides really work? Recruit a colleague, friend or family member, and run through your entire presentation with them. Sometimes, people can get so carried away with rehearsing their delivery and memorizing their words that they forget to make sure their slides complement and synch up with what they’re saying.
âEven if you have the best visual s in the world, you need to practice in front of someone else. Once you start practicing, you may see, ‘I’m talking about a sad story, but on the slide behind me, I have something funny and that doesn’t make sense,'” says Jurczynski. “Or, ‘Oh, this could be a good place for a blank slide.’â

Easily Create Striking PowerPoint Slides From A Reddit Discussion With ChatGPT
Here’s a simple system you can use to create interesting PowerPoint presentations, all aided with the power of AI and ChatGPT . You’ll need to use the ChatGPT Pro version so you have access to plugins and Code Interpreter.
There are many variants on how you can use this technique, so do experiment away, but I’ll share a simple system here.
Prefer to watch rather than read? Check out this video version of the tutorial on YouTube on producing PowerPoint slides using ChatGPT .
Here’s The Process
Step 1 – Find An Interesting Reddit Discussion
I chose a discussion from R/Professors. Grab the URL.
Step 2 – Ask ChatGPT To Summarise The URL
You’ll need to enable the Scraper plugin (or similar).
Here’s the prompt I used.
If you don’t like the output, you can ask ChatGPT to edit it, or you can copy this into a text file and tweak it yourself.
You’ll need to copy the generated text.
Step 3 – Ask ChatGPT To Generate Slides
You’ll need to start a new chat and enable Code Interpreter.
Now give ChatGPT the instructions to generate slides and copy in your generated summary.
You should get a PPT file to download, but sometimes ChatGPT will forget that it has this capability. That’s why I mention the PPTX library. You can remind ChatGPT that it can run code if necessary.
The generated PPT file will be a bit boring, but it will have the content in, ready to edit further. Note, in this case it hasn’t quite managed to fit everything on the slides, but that will be fixed automatically.
Step 4 – Generate and Add Images
This is really the fun part. You’ll need to start a new chat and enable the MixerBox ImageGen plugin.
You want to generate one image for each slide. Here is the prompt I used in the video (add the summary again afterwards).
Open up the images. Some of them are going to be better than others.
If you hate the image, just ask for some alternatives. If you like part of the image, the easiest thing to do is to just screen-capture part of the image (this is faster than the method I tried first in the video – you can use the built-in Snip tool in Windows).
Paste the image into the appropriate slide on PowerPoint (don’t worry if it covers the text) and open up Slide Designer. This will present a variety of layout choices for you and tidy up the text positioning. Here is an unflattering professor.
You’ll quickly end up with a much neater looking set of slides.
These slides are a little text heavy for my taste, but they are a very good starting point for some quick editing. Add a Call to Action slide if you like.
Step 5 – Do More!
This process here is just a starting point. Here are some other ideas you might want to try.
This is a powerful technique and there’s no excuse now for ugly looking slides. Do share how you get on !

I'm looking for some high-quality PPTX templates for presentations as I have a few job interviews approaching. Searching the internet, I only seem to find free, poor quality ones. When I come across a good looking one, I tend to get pulled down a path of links which results in you having to sign-up and pay.
For instance- when modifying a slide deck, I may move a slide earlier in the ppt. As a result, my citations in my work cited page are now out of order. Not a big deal for small ppt, but I tend to run 200+ citations. Would love some help so I don't have to kill hours on this process with every updated presentation/lecture. Thank you!đ«Łâșïž
Put less information on each slide, and have more slides. And put one picture per slide full screen. With 2 or more accompanying slides zooming in or out of certain parts you want to highlight. Visuals should be visual! Smallest font should be around 28-32. Reply.
Simple design with a good amount of White space. Create 1 idea/Slide. Don't use a lot of colors in the presentation (Except-playful PPT) Always use Slide master for your branding. No Animation, please. No bullet point you can use icons instead. Check the spelling and grammar Mistake Before presenting.
Clear your slides! This means that you want to make sure that you cover everything on your slide and don't leave any points undiscussed. Stand to one side of the screen so that you aren't blocking it, and face your audience. - Do not talk to the screen, talk to the audience (this is easier the more you practice!)
