How To Talk To Investors

The number one slide that every investor spends time on is the team slide. Who are the founders? Who are these people? The number two slide is the business model. How are you going to make money? After that, it goes down very significantly. All those slides about how this is going to be a giant market in five years. What I tell people to do in their presentation is to focus on the funding window, and what you are going to achieve. You should have a slide in there that shows in five years it's going to be a big market but that does not matter. The more important slide is what is your business model? What is your operational plan for the next twelve to eighteen months that is going to get you into the market?
