by Joshua Botello An investor presentation drums up images of “Shark Tank”, where the founders create goofy, but memorable pitches with ridiculous propositions for investment into their businesses. But that’s TV. In reality, it’s very different. For starters, investors prefer a pitch deck. This is a slide presentation made in a program like Powerpoint or Keynote to set the scene and explain why they are needing the investment. The investors are serious and will grill you about all aspects of your business before they even consider hearing how much you are actually asking for. The pitch deck is all the data and rationale about your business and why to deserve the investment you are asking for. That’s why we created this infographic. It distills all the information needed to make a concise and persuasive presentation to the 11 must-have slides to make the presentation work and win your investment. I will also use some notable examples to illustrate how these slides work.
