How to present to Investors

How to present to Investors: "Many hackers want to get funding from angels or VC with their ideas - but chances are it is pretty hard to know what to present about. Paul Graham, an investor, has written a good piece of advice on how to present in front of investors. Advices range from what to present - how to speak well - specific elements that can give investors a good information and impressions:


Explain what you’re doing.
Get rapidly to demo.
Better a narrow description than a vague one.
Don’t talk and drive.
Don’t talk about secondary matters at length.
Don’t get too deeply into business models.
Talk slowly and clearly at the audience.
Have one person talk.
Seem confident.
Don’t try to seem more than you are.
Don’t put too many words on slides.
Specific numbers are good.
Tell stories about users.
Make a soundbite stick in their heads.
