Sample Investment pitch /
presentation for sale. This is a PowerPoint presentation for
firms that are looking to begin pitching for angel investment or venture
capital.
Whether it be venture capitalists, angels or strategic investors, the
pitch must follow certain criteria within certain time constraints.
This presentation was developed over
the course of over 50 pitches to venture capital institutions and angel
investors all over the
country. This investment pitch raised over $9 million in venture financing
for my company and is used as a template in my consulting practice for
other startup companies seeking to raise capital.
SAVE THIS PAGE!!! You will spend a
great deal of time and resources searching for this information. I
know, because when I was researching my first pitch, it took me a long
time to figure out what information needed to be presented and how to
best present it. Your pitch
will be a variant of this pitch, the notes I've included give you some
guidelines on how to to tweak your presentation. It will
change considerably the more you pitch, that's why it's a good rule of
thumb to pitch your less desirable investors first. Practice,
practice, practice!

Remember:
-
20 slides or less (you will average 1
minute per slide, that's just a fact).
-
Know your elevator pitch.
-
Build a story, the slides are in a particular order
for a reason. The story has to make sense and it has to grow
and build upon each successive piece. However, the order of the
slides should be how you best tell the story.
-
Never present too much information.
-
Never talk to your slides...use the slides as your
talking points.
-
Never use small fonts.
-
Don't waste your time with fancy graphics
or animation.
-
Make sure the slides are printable on a black and
white laser printer.
-
Don't assume that high
speed or dial-up access will be present when you give the pitch.
Call ahead.
-
Have the pitch on your
home turf, unlikely but helpful.
