Description
When creating PowerPoint pitches, they need to be short and snappy, not long and detailed- that's what the business plan is for.

These points and template will increase your chances of success when having to make presentations to potential investors. Most investors won't tell you this out of politeness, so here's some good pointers to know:

Do not present out of context. You're not different to anybody else...yet. It's important that you try to stand out.

Don't use the obvious adjectives that the investors have probably heard 20 times this week to describe your business. Think outside of the box. Buy a thesaurus. Be imaginative.

Don't be over-ambitious with your pitch. Your aim should be to generate interest and to not be disregarded; thrown on top of the pile of entrepreneurs who failed to acquire investment. You solely want to make it to the next stage.
