Frequently Asked Questions
Is the template really free?
Yes. No credit card, no trial, no catch. We built it because most board deck templates online are terrible.
What format is the template?
You'll get a PDF with the structure and guidance for each section. You can use it in Google Slides, Notion, PowerPoint — whatever you prefer. Or build it directly in I'mBoard.
Do I need I'mBoard to use the template?
Nope. The template works standalone. But if you want AI-generated narratives, read tracking, and scheduling built in — I'mBoard does all that automatically.
How is this different from templates I find on Google?
Most board deck templates are built for enterprise or nonprofits. This one is specifically structured for Seed–Series B startups — the metrics, the format, the asks are all calibrated for VC-backed companies.
