I agree with Fred on this, and am glad this is a trend. A "presentation" it static and unengaging for both sides: VC's can tune out and avoid eye contact. Entrepreneurs can act without thinking, helping to avoid stress. The results benefit no one. It's been my experience in VC that few pitches which don't evolve into true conversations are effective. So one should plan to build conversion, to build a connection with your audience. That said, I do like having slides to fall back on, or refer to, when needed. But I try to minimize the time that anyone looks at them, vs. at other people.
