# Deckore

*/Startups/Deckore*

## Startup Overview

Finance and operations teams spend days pulling raw numbers from enterprise resource planning systems to manually draft presentations for executives and investors. This platform ingests that raw ERP data and automatically renders it into fully formatted, presentation-ready board slides. Instead of copying and pasting tables into slide decks, analysts define the reporting logic once, and the system generates the required financial charts and text summaries on demand.

While general-purpose presentation generators like Tome or Beautiful.ai focus on aesthetic layouts driven by text prompts, they lack native integrations with financial systems and struggle with rigid corporate styling. This solution maintains a dynamic link to the underlying source data, ensuring that every chart updates instantly when the ledger changes. The generated output adheres strictly to defined corporate brand guidelines, replacing manual PowerPoint drafting with an automated, continuously accurate reporting pipeline.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to reduce end-of-month board deck compilation time for finance teams from multiple days to under an hour.
- Targeting the complete elimination of manual copy-paste data errors in executive reporting.
- Intended to ensure 100% adherence to corporate typography, color, and charting standards without human review.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Core Reporting · Price: ~$400–$800/mo · Inclusions: Up to 5 automated deck generations per month, designed to connect to standard cloud ERPs (like NetSuite or QuickBooks), applying a single corporate brand template.
- Name: Enterprise Boardroom · Price: ~$2,000–$4,000/mo · Inclusions: Unlimited automated deck generations, intended for custom data mappings from data warehouses (like Snowflake or SAP), enforcing multiple subsidiary brand templates.
**Guarantee**: If a generated presentation file deviates from your uploaded brand guidelines or miscalculates any mapped ERP figures, your next month of the platform fee is refunded.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Executives need to write custom narrative on the slides. Rebuttal: The system renders the quantitative charts and data tables as locked assets, leaving designated editable text placeholders for executive commentary.
- Objection: We cannot grant a third-party tool write access to our financial systems. Rebuttal: Deckore is designed to require only read-only API tokens, ensuring zero risk of altering source financial data.
- Objection: Our general ledger codes change frequently. Rebuttal: The platform is designed to instantly flag new or unmapped ledger codes prior to generation, prompting a human to map them before the deck builds.
**Pricing Architecture**: Tiered

## Startup Brand

**Voice**: Executive professional characterized by absolute data precision and restraint.
**Tagline**: Convert raw ERP data into brand-compliant board slides.
**Icon Concept**: ledger
**Palette Intent**: institutional-cool
**Visual Identity**: A stark, high-contrast aesthetic relying on deep navy and slate gray, featuring sharp typographic hierarchy that mirrors corporate financial reporting standards.
**Archetype Reference**: the-ruler

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Deckore → FP&A Analyst → CFO → Board of Directors
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires mid-market finance teams through direct outbound targeting timed against quarterly reporting cycles. Expands account value by upselling premium connector licenses for additional source systems once the initial financial slide library is established.
**Agent Channel**: Intends to list in the Microsoft Copilot plugin directory and OpenAI Custom Actions registry as an ERP-to-slide rendering capability, enabling autonomous finance agents to discover and trigger formatted deck generation.
**Primary Channel**: Outbound LinkedIn sequencing targeting Directors of FP&A and Chiefs of Staff, combined with high-intent search campaigns for queries like automated NetSuite board reporting.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day single-entity pilot: Aim to successfully connect a read-only NetSuite API and generate the first month's board deck with zero manual chart adjustments or brand deviations.
- 60-day enterprise pilot: Target integrating a Snowflake data warehouse to output presentations for three distinct subsidiaries, validating that the platform securely enforces multiple brand templates simultaneously.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 48-hour reduction in end-of-month board deck compilation time.
- Aim: 0 manual copy-paste data errors in executive reporting files.
- Target: 100% automated adherence to corporate typography and charting standards without human review.
- Before/After: Shift from delayed reporting due to hidden general ledger changes to 100% proactive flagging of unmapped codes prior to deck generation.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market SaaS CFO: Target case study demonstrating the shift from three days of manual QuickBooks-to-PowerPoint exporting to a 15-minute automated sync that locks data charts while preserving editable narrative placeholders.
- Enterprise holding company VP of FP&A: Target case study mapping Snowflake data across multiple subsidiary brand templates, producing error-free quarterly business reviews without manual spreadsheet cross-referencing.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Director of Finance: Seeks relief that the read-only API token securely pulls required metrics without risking the source ERP's integrity.
- Corporate Brand Manager: Aims for satisfaction that all generated charts strictly obey the company's color palettes and typography rules without manual QA.
- Chief Financial Officer: Targets confidence in data accuracy, emphasizing that flagged unmapped GL codes prevent embarrassing spreadsheet miscalculations during board meetings.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major ERP vendors like SAP and NetSuite restrict API access or alter data structures, permanently breaking the dynamic linking pipelines. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: existential · Description: A security breach exposing unreleased financial data intended for board review immediately destroys enterprise trust and triggers mass churn. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Chiefs of Staff and executives refuse to abandon Microsoft Office because they demand offline, pixel-perfect manual editing capabilities right before meetings. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbent presentation tools like Microsoft PowerPoint integrate native ERP data pulls via Copilot, nullifying the core differentiator. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Complex edge cases in corporate brand guidelines cause automated rendering failures that force users back into manual formatting. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the strategic architect of the narrative, not a slide formatter
- **Want**: to produce investor-ready board decks without manual data entry
- **Identity**: the finance lead at a growth-stage company
**Plan**:
- Step: Select template · Detail: Choose your corporate theme and connect your read-only ERP or Snowflake data source.
