Creator prompt
The idea behind this presentation
Create a complete, professionally designed PowerPoint pitch deck for NewBase, using all the information provided below and in the attached reference images.
OUTPUT REQUIRED:
A finished, editable PowerPoint (.pptx) pitch deck. Do not give me just an outline, a slide-by-slide plan, or instructions for making it. Actually create the presentation and provide the PPTX file.
WEBSITE AND BRANDING:
Website: https://www.newbase.in/
Before designing, visit and thoroughly inspect the website. Explore its available pages and sections. Examine the actual logo, typography, colors, layout, visual style, illustrations, and overall branding.
Use the website as the primary source of truth for NewBase's visual identity.
Requirements:
- Extract and use the actual NewBase logo from the website.
- Follow the website's existing design language, including its colors, typography, and visual identity.
- Keep the presentation consistent with the website so the two feel like parts of the same brand.
- Use genuine website assets where appropriate.
- Do not invent a different brand identity.
- If the website cannot be accessed, state that limitation and use the supplied references as a fallback. Do not pretend you inspected the website.
HOW TO USE THE TWO ATTACHED REFERENCE IMAGES:
The images show examples of the information and product presentation we want to communicate.
Use them to understand:
1. How NewBase's accommodation and bus-route discovery experience works.
2. The kind of information the product provides.
3. The student research findings and percentages.
4. The general visual context of the project.
However, do NOT simply copy these slides or reproduce their layouts.
Treat them as supporting reference material, not finished designs. Rebuild everything with a more coherent narrative, better visual hierarchy, more polished typography, cleaner spacing, and a consistent visual system.
IMPORTANT DESIGN DIRECTION:
I want a genuinely good startup pitch deck, not a generic AI-generated presentation.
Avoid:
- Generic AI-generated aesthetics.
- Purple or blue gradient backgrounds simply because they look modern.
- Excessive rounded rectangles and floating cards.
- Unnecessary decorative icons.
- Stock photos used just to fill empty space.
- Repetitive layouts across every slide.
- Excessive text crammed into slides.
- Huge headings that leave no room for meaningful content.
- Fake charts, invented statistics, fabricated testimonials, and imaginary traction.
- Generic corporate templates that could belong to any startup.
Instead:
- Create a distinctive, editorial-quality presentation.
- Use intentional typography, spacing, alignment, and composition.
- Use real product screenshots from the website if available.
- Make research data easy to understand through appropriate charts and visualizations.
- Use diagrams only when they communicate something meaningful.
- Balance concise text with informative visuals.
- Use a restrained, consistent color palette taken from the actual website.
- Make each slide feel deliberately designed rather than generated from a template.
- Ensure everything remains readable when projected on a screen.
- Use a consistent 16:9 widescreen format.
- Keep the design professional enough for a startup competition, university innovation presentation, or early-stage investor pitch.
The finished presentation should look like a designer created it specifically for NewBase.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
NewBase is a platform designed to help students and early-career professionals settle into unfamiliar cities.
It brings accommodation discovery and local transportation information together, helping people find suitable places to stay and understand how to get around.
Initial market: Mangaluru, Karnataka, India.
Website: www.newbase.in
Core message:
"Your new city starts here."
The broader vision is to make settling into a new city simpler by bringing essential local information together in one place.
USE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO BUILD THE DECK.
Organize the information into a logical pitch narrative. You may improve wording for clarity, professionalism, and concision, but do not change the underlying facts or invent new ones.
SLIDE 1 — COVER
NewBase
"Your new city starts here."
Helping students and early-career professionals find accommodation and navigate life in a new city.
Initial Market: Mangaluru
Website: www.newbase.in
Make this slide distinctive, visually compelling, and consistent with the actual website branding.
SLIDE 2 — THE PROBLEM
Headline:
"Moving to a new city is exciting. Settling into it isn't."
Problem 1: Finding the right accommodation is difficult.
PG listings on Google and social media often lack clear pricing, accurate locations, updated information, and proper photos.
Students struggle to compare available options. They may need to contact brokers, pay commissions, or visit PGs individually to find a suitable place.
Problem 2: Affordable transportation is hard to navigate.
Cabs and autos can be expensive for students who commute regularly.
Buses are more affordable, but newcomers may not know which bus to take, where to board, which stops to use, or where to get off.
Conclude with the central problem:
Finding a place to stay and figuring out how to commute becomes a time-consuming and stressful process.
Use a clear visual explanation rather than placing every sentence on the slide.
SLIDE 3 — STUDENT RESEARCH AND VALIDATION
Headline:
"What we learned from students"
We spoke to students who have experienced the transition to a new city.
The research reference reports:
- 100+ students surveyed.
- Qualitative interviews and quantitative survey research.
The following percentages were reported:
Accommodation: 82.64%
This category covers PG/hostel discovery, finding a suitable place to stay, rent and deposits, and search difficulties.
Bus Routes & Transport: 65.97%
This category covers public transportation, bus routes, bus numbers, stops, and timings.
Food / Mess: 59.03%
This category covers regular and affordable food, mess options, and nearby choices.
Key insight:
"Students are not struggling with just one need. They are piecing together information from different sources to settle into a new city."
Use a clean, high-quality data visualization.
Important: Preserve the exact percentages and their labels. Do not invent sample sizes, demographic breakdowns, or additional findings.
The reference describes the data as coming from students across multiple cities. Preserve that context.
SLIDE 4 — HOW STUDENTS FIND INFORMATION TODAY
Headline:
"Students are searching everywhere. Information remains fragmented."
Current information sources:
1. Word of Mouth — 74.31%
Friends, classmates, seniors, family, and relatives.
2. Google & Property Websites/Apps — 27.08%
3. Walking Around & Searching Locally — 20.14%
4. Social Media — 19.44%
Instagram and other social platforms.
5. Messaging Groups — 11.11%
WhatsApp, Telegram, and similar groups.
6. Brokers & Agents — 9.72%
What this tells us:
Students rely on several channels to meet basic needs, but useful information remains fragmented across different sources.
The opportunity:
Bring essential accommodation and transport information together in one student-focused platform.
Design this slide around a readable horizontal bar chart or another suitable visualization.
Keep the percentages exact.
Do not imply that these sources are mutually exclusive or add up to 100%. Do not invent a survey methodology that has not been provided.
A note may state that the percentages come from qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys conducted as part of student research.
SLIDE 5 — OUR SOLUTION
Headline:
"One place to make settling into a new city easier."
NewBase aims to simplify the transition to a new city by bringing accommodation discovery and local transport information together.
Three core capabilities:
1. Discover Accommodation
Explore PG options with useful information about pricing, location, facilities, and photos.
2. Compare Your Options
Make more informed accommodation decisions based on needs, preferences, and budget.
3. Navigate Local Transport
Access bus-route information to better understand routes, bus numbers, stops, and connections.
Vision:
Make settling into a new city simpler for students and early-career professionals.
Make the product proposition immediately understandable.
SLIDE 6 — PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
Headline:
"From searching to settling in."
Explain how the product works using the first attached reference image as a source of product information.
PART A: FINDING A PG
Step 1: Search for PGs.
Users can enter a preferred area or use filters.
Step 2: Browse and compare.
Users can explore listings with information about photos, prices, locations, and facilities.
Step 3: View full details.
Users can examine available photos, facilities, location information, and contact details.
PART B: FINDING BUS ROUTES
Step 1: Search for a route.
Enter a starting point and destination.
Step 2: View available routes.
Explore bus numbers, key stops, and estimated travel times.
Step 3: Check route details.
View stops, timings, and route maps.
The reference image contains illustrative examples, including Ocean View PG, City Comfort PG, Bejai, and KMC.
Use actual screenshots from the live website if those features are implemented and accessible.
If they are not implemented, present the supplied images as conceptual product illustrations rather than falsely claiming that the features are live.
Do not invent real-time bus information or imply that illustrative sample listings have been independently verified.
This slide should be highly visual and demonstrate the product clearly.
SLIDE 7 — MARKET OPPORTUNITY
This slide is still being prepared separately by Siyam, who will provide the market-opportunity content.
For now, create a professionally designed placeholder slide that fits the overall deck and can be updated easily.
Suggested title:
"Market Opportunity"
Include a discreet note:
"Market sizing and opportunity analysis to be added."
Do not fabricate TAM, SAM, SOM, market-size figures, CAGR, user counts, or revenue projections.
Keep the slide editable so the actual information can be inserted later.
SLIDE 8 — BUSINESS MODEL
Headline:
"How NewBase generates revenue"
Potential revenue streams:
1. Commission on Successful Bookings
Earn a commission when a student or professional successfully books a PG through NewBase.
2. PG Owner Services
Potential paid tools and services to help PG owners manage listings, enquiries, and occupancy.
3. Featured Listings & Promotions
Potential paid visibility for PG owners looking to reach more relevant students.
Our approach:
Start by building trust with students and PG owners, generate successful bookings, and introduce additional revenue streams as the platform grows.
Important:
These are proposed revenue streams, not proof of existing revenue.
Do not invent commission percentages, pricing plans, revenue figures, or paying customers.
Make the business model easy to understand at a glance.
SLIDE 9 — GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY
Headline:
"Starting local. Building for every new city."
1. Build the Supply
Partner with PG owners across Mangaluru and collect accurate accommodation details.
2. Reach Students
Use Instagram, student communities, college networks, and word-of-mouth referrals to reach students moving to Mangaluru.
3. Reward & Refer
Introduce a student referral and reward system to encourage users to recommend NewBase, refer friends, and contribute useful information.
4. Build Trust
Use student feedback, transparent listings, and useful local information to help newcomers make informed decisions.
5. Grow Through Communities
Build awareness through student ambassadors, campus networks, and referrals from satisfied users.
Launch strategy:
Start in Mangaluru, measure student engagement and successful bookings, improve the platform based on feedback, and expand to other cities once the model is validated.
Present this as a clear sequence or phased strategy rather than a dense text slide.
Do not suggest that every proposed activity has already been executed.
SLIDE 10 — TRACTION AND MILESTONES
Headline:
"From research to launch"
Progress so far:
- 150+ PG listings collected for initial market research.
- 150+ student inputs gathered to understand accommodation and relocation challenges.
- Bus-route research conducted to understand local transportation needs.
- Pre-launch website launched at newbase.in.
- Initial market defined: Mangaluru and the wider Dakshina Kannada district.
Upcoming milestones:
1. Platform Launch
Launch the first version of NewBase and gather early user feedback.
2. PG Owner Onboarding
Build relationships with PG owners and improve listing coverage.
3. Student Acquisition
Introduce student referrals, reward systems, and campus outreach.
4. Validate the Business Model
Track enquiries, successful bookings, user engagement, and feedback.
5. Expansion Readiness
Use results from Mangaluru to plan expansion into other cities.
Our next goal:
Build a trusted starting point for students and early-career professionals moving to a new city.
Clearly distinguish between completed work and future plans.
Do not represent 150+ collected PG listings as 150+ confirmed partner properties or completed bookings.
Do not claim revenue, active users, conversions, or growth rates without evidence.
SLIDE 11 — CLOSING
NewBase
"Your new city starts here."
A simpler way to discover accommodation and navigate local transport.
Initial market: Mangaluru
Website: www.newbase.in
Finish with a memorable, confident closing slide consistent with the website's branding.
PRESENTATION QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
1. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
Use the 11-slide structure above as the default.
The presentation must tell a coherent story:
Introduction → Problem → Student Research → Existing Alternatives → Solution → Product Experience → Market Opportunity → Business Model → Go-to-Market → Traction and Milestones → Closing.
Create a clear narrative, not a collection of disconnected slides.
2. DATA ACCURACY
Use only the information supplied here, the reference images, and facts verifiable on the actual website.
Do not invent:
- Financial figures.
- Market sizing.
- Revenue.
- Paying customers.
- Partnerships.
- Completed bookings.
- User growth.
- Product features that do not exist.
- Testimonials.
- Awards.
- Team credentials.
Distinguish clearly between:
- Existing work.
- Research findings.
- Proposed features.
- Planned activities.
- Future business opportunities.
If two supplied figures appear to describe different things, preserve their original context rather than combining them into a misleading statistic.

- The presentation opens successfully.
- All slides use the same widescreen dimensions.
- Text is legible.
- Charts match the supplied data.
- No elements overlap or extend beyond slide boundaries.
- The deck is complete and in the correct order.
If you have access to presentation-generation tools, use them to produce the actual PowerPoint rather than stopping at a design brief.
FINAL DELIVERABLE
Provide:
1. The completed PowerPoint (.pptx).
2. A PDF export for quick preview, if your environment supports it.
3. A brief note identifying any slide content that still needs information, particularly the Market Opportunity slide.
Do not ask me to reorganize the supplied material. It is your job to structure it.
Do not ask me to choose colors or fonts. Extract the branding from the website.
Do not return a generic presentation template.
