Guy Kawazaki : Investors pitch and 10/20/30 rules

1. The important questions for the investor are 1. How much do we need to invest ? 2. What will be the return ? 3. What is the risk ? Maybe you should turn your presentation around those 3 questions.



2. Make it shorter. I like the 10/30/rule of Guy Kawasaki (Venture Capitalist): 10 slides, 20 minutes, 30 points font size...



See this video as from 24 minutes... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3755718939216161559#

Kuy Kawazaki proposes this structure for the 10 slides:

  1. Title

  2. Problem

  3. Solution

  4. Business model

  5. Underlying magic

  6. Marketing and sales

  7. Competition

  8. Team

  9. Projections

  10. Status and timeline
