We meet with an investor today and took a totally different approach. We didn’t present anything. No charts, no Powerpoint. We just sent a 1 page executive summary before hand.

When he arrived we started talking and answering his questions. Occasionally we turned to the PC to explain something and examined prototypes.

It was genuinely and simply, a conversation. It showed we know our stuff inside out. It was by far our most effective meeting to date.  

Can you hold a 4 hour conversation and answer session about your business plans?
