SLIDE 1
Business Plan Presentation Guide (I suggest no more than 8-10 slides; you can have “extra” slides in your deck that might be helpful during Q&A) Do NOT: Hand out anything (other than a sample or prototype of the product) to the judges until the Q&A portion of your presentation Attempt to simply summarize your entire plan Read from a script or try to memorize a speech (and don’t just read your slides!) Show financial projections / statements in “spreadsheet” form Make statements about the opportunity, market, or competition without backing it up with facts / data / observations Fabricate, exaggerate, or misrepresent who you are, your capabilities, or any facts you present about the market, industry, or your venture. It is important to be both credible AND ethical. DO: Dress and act professionally Have smooth and seamless transitions between sections and team members Be confident (but not cocky or argumentative) Understand and speak to what’s important to your audience; you are presenting to investors / bankers / entrepreneurs / executives, not to consumers Anticipate questions and be prepared to answer them (back-up slides...) Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse (timing, tempo, and transitions)
