I was fortunate enough to be in an Intuit group pitching to multiple investors recently. Bing Gordon was there and gave feedback afterwards. It was so valuable that I just had to share it.
He said the best entrepreneurs build small and great…one feature at a time. They use existing assets, existing brand, and existing data. This is a hit business and you need to present like a movie pitch. Your presentation is a movie poster with a clear picture of the customer enjoying value. This pitch needs to have very few slides:
- Distinct strategies
- Starting assets
- Numbers
Only 3-5 bullets, one sentence per bullet and know your slides at all times. You have to know it inside and out…you can work the story without slides and pictures.
