Presenting to Investors

March 19, 2009 By: admin Category: Funding

By far the number one mistake innovators make when pitching to investors (or even selling their innovation for that matter) is loading the presentation with technical jargon and data and all in 10 pt. font.  Investors are in this for money and they want to get a basic understanding of:

  1. Who you and your team are
  2. What is your experience
  3. How does the technology work at a VERY high level
  4. What is the financial picture and exit strategy

They want to make money and get out.  Usually nothing more and nothing less.  I’ve seen so many presentations choc full of images and graphs.  Make your presentation simple, no more than 15 pages of power point and try to make all of your points on 3-5 bullets per page.
