Page 6: Pitching Presentation

So,what does an investor look for in an entrepreneur?

Page 7: Pitching Presentation

The investor wants someone whose eyes shine with enthusiasm, someone who will do

everything in his power to ensure the success of the enterprise, someone who will sink his teeth

in and give it everything he’s got.

Page 8: Pitching Presentation

The investor wants someone who is knowledgeable in his field, who is familiar with the needs of his target

audience, and who knows what solutions have already been put out there.

Page 9: Pitching Presentation

He wants someone with experience. And if it was an experience of failure, that’s okay. Investors like to see that a person is not discouraged, that they

try again until they succeed.

Page 10: Pitching Presentation

The investor wants to see a winning team, a team of people with a special connection between them, a team that has

been through obstacles together, a team of individuals that complement one another. If you’re on your own, you should

present your ability to create such a team.

Page 11: Pitching Presentation

It is important that you have a vision,but make sure your vision is realistic.

Page 12: Pitching Presentation

What about the content of the presentation?

The idea is to step into the investor’s shoes,anticipate what his next question might be,

and then provide him with the relevant information.
