1. “How much of your time do I have?” This question shows that you respect the
value of the audience’s time by not running over your limit. It also makes the
audience commit to a minimum allotment of time.
“What are the three most important pieces of information that I can provide?”
You may find out that they already know or believe in something that you were
going to trying to communicate, so you can skip that. And you may find out that
you can’t skip something that you thought was understood.
“May I quickly go through my presentation and handle questions at the end?”
You’re trying to make the audience commit to not interrupting you, so that your
pitch can flow better.
SET THE STAGE
It’s almost impossible to recover from a bad start, so get there early and set
the stage. Bring your own projector. Bring two laptops loaded up with your
presentation. Bring two VGA adapters. Bring a copy of your presentation on a
USB drive. Bring printouts of your presentation in case nothing works.
BE PREPARED
THEPITCHING
CHECKLIST

When the meeting starts, you should set the
stage for the rest of the pitch. Here are the 3
questions you should ask:
2. Many entrepreneurs believe that a pitch is a narrative whose opening chapter must always be
autobiographical. These personal tales are supposed to convince the audience that this is a great
team. Meanwhile, everyone is wondering, What does this startup do?
By no later than the sixth minute of your presentation, you should be explaining what your startup
does (Remember that the first five minutes are to get answers to the three questions mentioned
above.) Once the audience has learned what you do, they can listen to the rest of your pitch with
calm and focused minds.
Use three to five word statements like these. Don’t go crazy with something along the lines of
“patent-pending, curve-jumping, enterprise-class, scalable, revolutionary, first-mover advantage,
paradigm shifting, customer-focused solutions.”
EXPLAIN YOURSELF IN THE SIXTH MINUTE
We sell software.
We sell hardware.
Never. Read. Your. Slides.
Use a dark background.
Add your logo to the master page.
Use common, sans-serif fonts.
Animate your body, not your slides.
Use bullets.
Use only one level of bullets
Use diagrams and graphs
Make printable slides
OBSERVE THE 10/20/30 RULE
We teach underprivileged kids.
We prevent child abuse.
The 10/20/30 Rule of Presentations is that you should use ten slides in
twenty minutes with a minimum of thirty-point text. It’s the most important
rule you can learn about pitching.
Master the fine point
3. In a pitch the CEO should do 80 percent of the talking. The rest of the team (and there should be no more
than two others) can present the one or two slides pertaining to their specific area of expertise. They can
also provide detailed answers if any questions arise. However, if the CEO can’t handle most of the pitch
by himself, he should practice until he can, or he should be replaced.
Your pitch shouldn’t be in the clouds nor too close to the ground. Simply provide enough detail to prove
you can deliver and enough aerial view to prove you have a plan
Generally venture capitalists want three to five years of projections to help them do three things: first,
understand the scale of your business, second, examine the assumptions of your business model, and
third, determine how much capital you’ll require. Investors are not looking for detailed forecasts contain-
ing every conceivable line item; they’re looking for the big picture and trying to understand the kinds of
assumptions that you’re making about your business. One way to improve your forecasts is to build them
from the bottom up instead of from the top down.
If there’s crud in your company that you haven’t or can’t clean up immediately, disclose it to investors
early in the fundraising process. The later you reveal it, the harder it is to disclose, and the more it will
harm your credibility.
You should accept as much blame for the failure as is justified. Sophisticated investors find such honesty
admirable, and many investors have made boatloads of money with entrepreneurs who failed in previ-
ous efforts. What’s important is that you learned from your failures and are eager to try again.
The visible act of taking notes means I think you’re smart. You’re saying something worth writing down.
I’m willing and anxious to learn. I’m conscientious. Taking notes provides these benefits, plus the value of
the information that you’re recording. Also, at the end of the meeting, summarize what you heard and
play it back in order to make sure you got the correct information. Then follow through, within a day, on
all the promises that you made during the pitch—for example, providing additional information.
After five or so pitches, throw away your pitch and start with a clean slate. Let this “version 2.0” reflect
the gestalt of what you’ve learned instead of being a patchwork quilt
Everytime you say something, ask yourself , “So what?” After you answer, follow with the two most
powerful words in a pitch: “For instance, . . .” and then discuss a real-world use or scenario of a feature of
your product.
Familiarity breeds content. When you are totally familiar and comfortable with your pitch you’ll be able to
give it most effectively. There are no shortcuts to achieving familiarity—you have to pitch a lot of times.
Twenty-five repetitions are what it takes for most people to reach this point. All these pitches don’t have
to be to your intended audiences—your co-founders, employees, relatives, friends, and even your dog are
fine auditors.
LET ONE PERSON DO THE TALKING
GET TO ONE THOUSAND FEET AND STAY THERE
ANSWER THE LITTLE MAN
PITCH CONSTANTLY
PROVIDE THE RIGHT NUMBERS
DISCLOSE EVERYTHING
SHUT UP, TAKE NOTES, SUMMARIZE, REGURGITATE, AND FOLLOW UP
REWRITE FROM SCRATCH
