If you're trying to raise a few million dollars and you're not a PowerPoint jockey it feels like money well spent to me.

Our pitch deck was just black text on a white background but would have loved to have thrown some design time at it.

The problem is that pitch decks are (or should be) continuously updated, so it's not exactly a one-time cost. (That, or you have to learn enough PowerPoint skills to update it yourself).

While the stories of "here's how I raised my series A in 7 days!" make good stories, the reality is that most fundraising cycles are not like this. They're longer than people expect, and they're an iterative process.

Definitely going to be iterative. Hopefully you get the basic elements covered and can move things around from there.
