Creating Your PowerPoint Slides For Investors

PowerPoint Presentation Outline
http://blog.gcase.org/archives/446
Writing is tough for everybody, and making slides that represent what your deal is doubly tough. You want your listeners to be listening to your sales skills, not figuring out what you have on the slides, so keep it very simple. Here are some pointers that helped one of our entrepreneurs raise over $13.5 million.
For your presentation to investors, plan to have about 45 to 60 minutes. You will have about 15 to 25 minutes to make a formal presentation, followed by about 15 to 25 minutes of Questions and Answers. Generally, the Q&A session is after you are finished making your formal presentation. Bring your own laptop; the investors will provide the LCD projector. Internet access may be available, but do not depend on it to make your presentation. Ask ahead and find out how many hard copies of your presentation you will need to bring to the meeting.
PowerPoint presentations with approximately 12 to 15 slides are generally most effective. It is best to use the limited time you have to emphasize the compelling factors about your investment opportunity and save unnecessary technology details for future meetings.
A good approach is to put the substance on the pages in your business plan (Business Plan Outline) and summarize each slide’s most important talking points orally to the investors. Do not read the slides to your audience, as they will be following your presentation in their hard-copy handouts. Address only the key facts and conclusions you want investors to take from each slide.
Writing is tough for everybody, and making slides that represent what your deal is doubly tough. You want your listeners to be listening to your sales skills, not figuring out what you have on the slides, so keep it very simple and use only a 30-point font or larger on PowerPoint. Use only 3, 5, or 7 bulleted-talking points for each slide. This means if you have 4 bullet points for a slide, you need to add one more or delete one. It is preferable that you work on deleting and editing talking points, instead of adding talking points.
Don’t use flying logos, don’t use special features, special effects. Like stated above, don’t depend on using/having Internet access. Don’t have the bullet points come up after each “down” click. This slows down the presentation, and it makes it a big problem when you have to jump around in a presentation.
Please note that the outline below simply follows the content and approach in our program and the course materials for our Online Incubator Program.

Conclusion: Wrapping Up Presentation
Be sure to review what was discussed, and review what you want them to remember. Use the closing slide not only to close your presentation, but also to demonstrate your sales closing skills. Having a formal close is helpful for efficiently managing the follow-ups when you e-mail, call, and intercept investors at events, etc.
