Remembering pg's great advice before demo day, a pitch has only 2 goals:

- Capture the investors' attention -- they'll have to remember your company among dozens

- Make them curious to hear more -- you want them to reach out and ask for a meeting

None of these requires a big number of slides, or for that matter, time to go through the pitch. Most entrepreneur do a simple mistake and try to put everything that's relevant to their project in the pitch.

Many of these decks are actually used for step 2—after investors have heard the initial pitch and are now interested in learning more.
