Battery Pitch Deck Example That Raised $150K

What's in this set

There is currently 1 battery pitch deck in AngelMatch's pitch deck database. Rovilus raised a pre-seed round of $150K in 2019, and the same deck is tagged to the automotive, hardware, and manufacturing filters as well. The set is small, so this page leans on that one deck plus what early battery and hardware investors generally weigh, rather than pretending there is a broad sample to draw patterns from. If you are building a battery startup deck, the Rovilus deck is worth a look for its stage and check size alone, even though its own description points more toward a software build than a cell or pack company.

What investors look for in a battery pitch deck

Batteries are a physical product with a real bill of materials, so investors expect an early cost breakdown per cell or pack and a credible path to a lower cost curve as volume increases. Rovilus's deck, a $150K pre-seed raise from 2019, sits at exactly the check size where investors expect a first-pass cost model rather than a finished one, so this is the stage to show your assumptions, not hide them.

Cycle life and safety testing data matter more in battery pitches than in most hardware categories, because a performance claim without test results is the fastest way to lose a battery-literate investor's attention. Even a pre-seed deck like Rovilus's benefits from stating what has been tested so far and what testing is funded by the round.

Supply chain exposure for raw materials also gets scrutiny early. Battery-adjacent companies depend on lithium, cobalt, nickel, or other constrained inputs, and investors want a plan for sourcing and a sense of how sensitive the model is to material price swings, a question worth answering even at the pre-seed size Rovilus raised.

Rovilus's $150K pre-seed raise is the only battery deck in this set, so a capital search from here should widen quickly into adjacent categories like hardware and manufacturing. AngelMatch's investor database lists the angels and VCs who back those adjacent categories, and you can browse AngelMatch's investor list to find the ones who write early battery and hardware checks.
