http://swipesapp.com In Jan'14 we were chosen among the finalists for the batch 'Nyc 2014 Spring'. One more interview was ahead of us. We made a presentation via Skype to David Cohen, Alex Iskold and the whole great Techstars team. Skype is not ideal - the screenshare just failed so we never managed to show them this pretty here. However, we still delivered the pitch and followed the structure of the presentation. Here's a successful outline you can follow when pitching to accelerators and investors: * CEO intro + team intro * 1 sentence on what we've created - we present it first so they don't sit&think about it * Problem * Market opportunity * Our solution - we made sure it directly answers the problem; we used the same wording to make them sound connected and get the effect "Yes, of course that's the solution." * Credibility slides ** Traction ** Achievements (What do the users say?) ** Media * Business model - Important to be sharp&clear on it regardless of when you're planning to launch it; We made sure we referred to success cases with this business model in our industry as an extra verification that it's the right choice. * Next steps - We included the short term plan and a pitch about how Techstars can help us achieve the goals. Remember that this is an accelerator and they want to know how to help. * Final slide with a call-to-action pitch of the great things you can achieve together;
