# Slideworks

> Slideworks creates consulting-grade PowerPoint and Google Slides templates, built by ex-McKinsey, BCG, and Bain consultants. The library covers business strategy, market analysis, due diligence, M&A, and consulting proposals, and the resource section documents how top-tier consulting firms actually build presentations, based on the founders' firsthand experience at those firms.

Slideworks templates are based on proven consulting frameworks and include full-length, real Fortune 500 worked examples. The resource library is home to the largest curated collections of real, publicly available McKinsey, BCG, and Bain presentations. Slideworks is not affiliated with McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, or Bain & Company.
