Passionately & clearly communicate a visionDon’t oversell - investors can easily see through crapFocus on your strengths & remain candid
Send one or two high-level members of your team, not the whole crew An exceptional entrepreneur or team who has experience and
drive
Large enough and interesting enough market opportunities
A smart, differentiated, and defensible product/service that will stand out initially in its market and be able to protect its margins over time

• If you regularly get a specific question, address it head on• Leave room for questions, this is when decisions are made
about whether & how much to fund you• Each slide should stand on its own without explanation – use
clear figures to convey a lot of information without a lot of text• Don’t read slides – connect with your audience• Don’t use industry acronyms/terminology or reference
companies they won’t know• DO NOT ask them to sign an NDA – most won’t

addressable market in <5 years• The addressable market (or worse,
revenue) opportunity is $1B+
