Company
Growth Warrior Capital is an operator-led venture firm that backs early-stage enterprise AI companies and the infrastructure that supports them. They invest in founding teams building equitable solutions across AI/ML, fintech, and future of work.
The Challenge
Early-stage founders often struggle to articulate their vision effectively, spending 10+ hours crafting pitch decks while investors spend under three minutes reviewing them1. Growth Warrior Capital aimed to change this by building an AI-powered pitch deck generator that could guide users through the storytelling and design process. While any LLM can generate bullet points, the challenge was creating an intelligent, user-friendly tool that blended content generation, slide structure optimization, and founder education. Ensuring that AI suggestions stayed contextually relevant while integrating with a traditional slide-editing interface added significant complexity.
The Solution
Growth Warrior Capital partnered with A.Team to bring on Ricardo Arcifa, a full-stack developer with deep experience building AI-integrated applications at scale. Arcifa architected a sophisticated system that went beyond simple template generation—creating dynamic form flows that guide founders through storytelling while GPT models generate contextually aware suggestions for each slide. The approach centered on creating a feedback loop where AI recommendations improved based on successful deck patterns, with microservices handling everything from user authentication to real-time content generation. Arcifa fine-tuned the integration of GPT responses to provide actionable, founder-friendly suggestions that educate users about investor expectations while they create.
