Betagroup Presentation Template to Pitch to Investors

Tomorrow is the preselection for the Betapitch, a special Betagroup event hosted at the Betacowork where startups will pitch to a panel of investors that can invest from €20.000 to €5.000.000 . 
This is the template for the presentation that Jean has sent, which may also help you if you are pitching to investors at any other moment: 
Timing: 5 minutes sharp (there will be a countdown and an alarm after 5 minutes) + Q&A
 
Slides template: all the participants will present the same 10 slides (inspired by Guy Kawasaki)
Slide 1 - Team
Slide 2 - Problem that you are tackling
Slide 3 - Your solution
Slide 4 - Business model
Slide 5 - Underlying magic/technology
Slide 6 - Marketing and sales
Slide 7 - Competition
Slide 8 -Projections and milestones
Slide 9 -Pre-invest value + money needed (only 2 figures for this important slide)
Slide 10 - How do you plan to spend the money that you raise

There will be a workshop to help the teams with their presentations hosted by Gilbert West.

    Thanks to Jean Derely for improving this list on and on.

    In case you do not know about it, the Beta Group is the largest Internet & Tech entrepreneurship networking event in Belgium, with about 350 attendees in each of its monthly meetups. The event consists of a pitch slam with six startups showcasing their products, short requests and announcements from the audience (the live tweets), and lots of networking over free warm beer. A must.

    Disclosure: I am a member of the Beta Group's council, and proud of it!

    Fred Destin's Workshop on Hacking Venture Capital

    LIFT10: Workshop on Hacking Venture Capital

    This morning at the excellent LIFT Conference I gave a two hour workshop on "Hacking Venture Capital" designed to give entrepreneurs a hands-on experience of (a) pitching and (b) negotiating with detailed debrief and tricks of the trade.  As promised I wanted to share the material and presentations, with my thanks to @venturehacks for a good part of the content.

    First off the two prezis and then the case study material (i used ERPLY as inspiration).
