I read this to see if it might be useful to recommend to the students in my entrepreneurship course. A quick Google search on pitchdeck best practices will turn up everything that's in here (and more) so I'm not recommending it.

Step by step guide to help you prepare your "pitch"/"deck" for investors. Quick read and great information source.
