Always have a summary slide at the end
For you: use it as as a roadmap, so it keeps you focused, helps avoid terribly lengthy presentations
For your audience: reinforces what you’ve just covered, and helps nudge questions so you can clarify#pitch #investment

Have 2 versions of your presentation. One that can stand on its own, if you need to send it in advance to get *that meeting*, and another that you’ll use to pitch that has less text, because you’ll need to bring it to life, and work your magic#pitch #investment

Keep it under 20 slides. Normally, you'd need AT LEAST 1min per slide. Your aim is to pike enough interest to generate questions from your audience but if you take too long to go over it, there won't be time. Next tip…#pitch #investment #decktip

Practice out loud to appear polished yet natural. Written & spoken language differ, avoid being stuffy or get distracted saying things you'd never say!
