As a general rule, a pitch deck should be no more than 20-25 slides long. This allows you to cover all of the key points without overwhelming your audience. If you have a lot of detailed information to present, you may need to use more slides. In this case, it's important to be selective about what you include and focus on the most important points.

It's also important to remember that a pitch deck is just one part of the pitch process. You should also be prepared to answer questions and engage in discussion with your audience. A pitch deck should serve as a visual aid and a starting point for conversation, not as a substitute for a live presentation.
