PitchBob.io is a revolutionary AI-powered tool that has transformed the way entrepreneurs create pitch decks, startup one-pagers, and fundraising documents. But how did it all begin?
The story starts with Dima Maslennikov, a serial entrepreneur, startup mentor, and innovation consultant with three successful exits under his belt. Over the course of a decade, Dima worked with thousands of founders and corporate innovators. One challenge kept repeating: founders struggled to articulate their startup ideas clearly and turn them into effective pitch materials.
In 2016, while leading a workshop on Lean Startup and Customer Development, Dima noticed how even brilliant ideas often failed to be communicated properly. Participants were stuck. The tools were either too complex, too design-heavy, or just not made for early-stage founders.
That’s when the idea for PitchBob was born:
"What if founders had a simple, structured framework to build their first pitch deck—without spending hours designing slides or hiring consultants?"
Now, users around the world could access a personalized AI co-pilot to help them create compelling pitch decks, one-pagers, investor letters, and more — all tailored to their business idea.
Today, PitchBob.io helps tens of thousands of users across dozens of countries. From first-time founders to corporate innovators, anyone can now build investor-ready presentations in minutes.

Whether you’re at the idea stage or scaling your venture, PitchBob is your AI-powered partner in building your business.
PitchBob. io was founded by Dima Maslennikov, a serial entrepreneur, startup mentor, angel investor, and corporate innovation consultant with over 12 years of experience in the startup ecosystem and three successful exits.
The idea originated in 2016 during a Lean Startup workshop Dima was conducting. He noticed how difficult it was for founders to structure and articulate their ideas, even with good business potential. This led to the first prototype—a Word-based pitch deck template.
The very first version of PitchBob was a simple fill-in-the-blank Word document that helped founders build their first pitch deck using a guided structure. It was designed to focus on content, not visuals.
After the positive feedback from early users, Dima turned the template into a chatbot-based tool during the pandemic, which later evolved into a full AI-powered product using ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies.
Unlike static templates or design-focused tools, PitchBob focuses on content and logic. It guides founders through the right questions and builds pitch materials using startup best practices, not just slide layouts.
In 2023, with the rise of ChatGPT, PitchBob expanded its capabilities significantly. It now helps users worldwide generate personalized, investor-ready pitch content in minutes, enabling global scale and reach.
