Investor Presentaiton
DESIGN & FORMATING
Look and Feel is Important to Success
Keep slides simple and easy to read
Header of each slide should be Active & Easy to Read
- Understand Pitch by Just Reading Headers:
Rather than "Problem"
Say: "Problem: Market Lacks XXX"
Say in a few words what can be said in a few words:
Avoid Prepositions ("of", "to")
Keep pages interesting:
Use Graphics, Cartoons, Product Pictures,
Tables, Maps, Testimonials, etc -:
Avoid Long Bullet Point Lists
Ensure that all fonts (styles, sizes, etc) are
consistent for each information level
Decide on color scheme and use throughout / too
many colors make information hard to read
Final review that only looks at formatting to ensure
all formatting is consistent
VISION
Path to Executable Returns
Keep investment thesis and value add simple
Ensure enough data to support thesis - without data
a presentation becomes very generic and does not
provide enough tangible information for an investor
to have a meaningful opinion:
Market analysis
Peer Analysis
Performance Information
Pipeline
Executive Biographies
Goal is to keep investor engaged and to agree to do
more due diligence - goal is not to provide all
information for an investment decision.
Additional information will be provided in data room
and Due Diligence Checklist - Company / Fund
CONCRETE & SUPPORTABLE INFORMATION
Provide Concrete Supported Data
More concrete and tangible information gives
investors greater comfort - e.g.
Rather than "$XXX million Pipeline"
State the Pipeline:
$XX (Code) Name / Stage (Any Evidence
of commitments - MOU, Draft Agreement,
etc)
Most important part of financial information is the
historical performance/track record and/or
assumptions
Historical performance / track record
provides the foundation for making future
assumptions
Assumptions should be supported by
external information: historical data /
track record, agreements (MOU, Draft,
Signed), market or peer analysis
Anybody can make a model - hard to
support assumptions
Convey financial and other data in charts,
graphics, tables whenever possible
DELIVERY & MEETING DYNAMICS
