What types of companies are you looking for as presenters? Also, what does a typical presentation consist of - revenue forecasts, market size, product demos, management background, marketing strategy? With just 3 minutes, I'm wondering if we should just present our product and company background or if we should focus more on why you should invest in us.
- sanjayparekh 16y agoThe focus is Internet/software startups. We take startups of all stages from idea stage to post-funded/post-revenue. There is no "typical" presentation - it should really be centered around what you're trying to get out of the presentation. But personally the most successful I've seen talk almost exclusively about the service/product being offered. The presentation isn't a time to convey everything about what you're doing - it's more about getting people to come and talk to you afterward to learn more. Hope that helps.
- jimsumblay 16y agoIt helps. In watching videos from previous years, it did appear to be more product oriented. When selecting companies, what else do you look at? Readiness to take on investors? size of the market? prototype of the product? or is simply based on how interesting the presentation is and how comfortable the speaker is in making it?
- sanjayparekh 16y agoI don't have an exact formula. I mainly judge if the idea is interesting and if the presentation is compelling.
