PITCH BOOT CAMP. The PERFECT PITCH Program goal is to develop a standard format for making an investor pitch - verbally or with PowerPoint slides. Key is the perspective which is... "FOCUS" on what the Investor wants or cares about. First is to make sure you and your venture is in their wheel house - that is the STAGE of investments they want invest in (Seed, Series A, B etc.) and the Market (Fin-Tech, Wellness, Consumer Goods, etc). If this is a match with your business proposition then the focus is "What do they want to know".
After reviewing over 1,000 pitches prior and at Shark Attack, the formula is pretty much the same. They are.....the TEN SLIDE RULE
- Who are you, your work history or qualifications and team.
- What did you See that made you believe you had a better mousetrap? The Problem?
- What is your Solution?
- Why is this Solution Unique? Competitive? Exclusives? Advantages?
- How do you plan to make money? Margins? Profits?
- Progress to Date? Milestones accomplished?
- What do you Need to hit your next Milestone?
- The Funding Offer? Deal? Return on Investment or advantages to Investors?
- Next Step Milestone time line?
- Your Contact Information
Now the acid test is to position yourself as an investor and ask yourself what information do you want to know about "this person" and "Venture" that is presenting.
Key if you are presenting is to have a note card with the Ten Questions and simply "present the question to the audience" than then answer it. This enables the audience to zero in on the topic and each transition.
If a Power-Point the key ONLY TEN Slides and you can use Animation to keep the slides simple. Heading for each Slide are the 10 Questions.
Pitch Camp is designed to both practice your elevator pitch and also your Investor Pitch. Most importantly use the 10 topics to listen and review other Entrepreneur Pitches.
