The market size slide for a fashion pitch deck

Investors want proof that enough shoppers buying clothing, footwear or accessories exist to build a large company. Here is a bottom-up market slide for Ochre Studio, and the weak version most founders send.

OCHRE STUDIO · MARKET

300,000 shoppers we can reach first, worth ₹9,000 each a year

Sample slide for a fictional company · illustrative numbers
Long term: 60 million online fashion shoppersNext: 2 million premium ethnic wear buyers 300,000shoppers we can reach

Strong versus weak

Same slide, two versions. Investors decide in seconds which kind of founder sent it.
