3Digital Tools

For making investor pitches more

engaging!

START THE

CLOCK…

YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS!!!

Most investors will only give you about 90 seconds to grab their attention!

If your presentation does not capture their attention from the start, it can be difficult to re-engage them. 

MDK Law assists many entrepreneurs and start-ups while they are embarking on new business financing efforts.

To further assist the busy entrepreneur we have put together a top 3 list of digital presentation tools to help captivate an audience and make your next business investment pitch a memorable one…

1. Prezi

Prezi gives you the ability to create dynamic presentations with non-linear, seamless transitions. It also includes impressive motion effects for adding unique energy to your presentation. Beneficial use: Prezi offers an ability to depict the movement of your charts for a greater understanding of complicated business workflow processes or structuring. It gives the ability to revisit the “bigger picture” while zooming in and elaborating on specific important matters.

Beware: Don’t get carried away and make a dizzying presentation, you don’t want to lose your audience to motion sickness!

2. Google Slides

Google's presentation package, Google Slides, is part of its Google Docs productivity suite and is built into Google Drive. Google Slides is an accessible and easy to use online platform, with the ability to access your presentations offline. This feature allows you to edit or present your presentation without requiring an Internet connection. Google Slides is simple to use, and offers a “stripped-down” approach by providing all the functionality you need to make a professional presentation, with as little bells and whistles as possible.

Google Slides presentations are automatically saved to your Google Drive account periodically, meaning you always have a backup copy! In addition if you need to undo a change, you have the option to access Slides' revision history functionality to restore an older version of your presentation.

Google Slides also offers the ability for simultaneous co-authoring with your partners and/ or colleagues. You can even export your presentation in a number of file formats such as PowerPoint, Acrobat and JPEG, if you choose to not present directly in Google.

What is best about all this? It’s free! Music to an Entrepreneur’s ears! If you have a Google account, then you can access Google Slides and begin creating presentations immediately.

3. Keynote

If you are an Apple follower, Keynote is a great presentation platform for you. Keynote commissions powerful tools and generates alluring results that will bring your presentation to life. What is best about Keynote is that you can work seamlessly between Mac and iOS devices. Keynote works through iCloud, so you can be sure that you will always have the most up-to-date version on hand. Keynote is complete with unique slide transitions, as well as animated or 3D charts. With Apple becoming more and more prominent in the business world, Keynote is a great option which is being used by many start-up businesses.
