When it is time to pitch investors, you need a solid deck that will help get a conversation started. If it is a really great deck, then you may never get through the whole presentation, because people in the room will start buzzing with questions and input.
- Problem
- Your solution
- Business model
- Underlying magic/technology
- Marketing and sales
- Competition
- Team
- Projections and milestones
- Status and timeline
- Summary and call to action
You should give your ten slides in twenty minutes. Sure, you have an hour time slot, but you're using a Windows laptop, so it will take forty minutes to make it work with the projector. Even if setup goes perfectly, people will arrive late and have to leave early. In a perfect world, you give your pitch in twenty minutes, and you have forty minutes left for discussion.You will want to change this deck to suit your needs, but for a first run, stick with the format. Having a great deck is more important than any business plan you might be thinking about writing. Get to it!
