Editor's Notes
It is unlikely that you’ll be talking to technical people and even if a potential investor is a technical person he/she will probably know little about the industry. As a result, the presentation has to establish a foundation level of understanding of the market and current technologies before introducing the new product/process.
The presentation moves from a “30,000’ view” to “ground level”.
