💡 Pro Tips for Presenting:

  • Slide 5 (Business Model): 90 seconds - Focus on simple $89/mo + high-margin add-ons

🎯 Total pitch time: 10-12 minutes | Leave 5-8 minutes for Q&A

📊 Slide Design Best Practices:

  • Use high-contrast text (dark on light, white on dark backgrounds)
  • Limit bullet points to 5-6 per slide maximum
  • Use "progressive disclosure" - reveal points one at a time during presentation
  • Include slide numbers in footer (except title slide)
  • Add your logo to top-right or bottom-left of each slide
  • Use data visualization (charts, graphs) instead of tables when possible
  • Keep font sizes large: Minimum 16pt for body text, 24pt+ for titles
  • Test on projector/large screen before presenting - colors may look different

🎬 Presentation Workflow:

  1. Create PowerPoint using one of the methods above
  2. Add detailed speaker notes for each slide
  3. Practice pitch 5+ times to refine timing
  4. Prepare answers to common investor questions
  5. Have backup slides ready: Team bios, detailed financials, tech architecture
