how to pitch to a VC

Great video every entrepreneur should watch before pitching to any investor. He says things we have herd many times but all together, fast and organized. Good way to check if we have everything. 

(From TED: “Ideas worth spreading”)

Single most important thing the VC is going to be investing in: YOU  

You need to prove:
- Integrity
- Passion
- Experience
- Knowledge
- Skill
- Leadership
- Commitment
- Vision
- Realism
- Coachable     

How to structure the pitch:
Do’s:
- Logical progression
- Things I know or understand (examples)
- Validations (somebody else says this make sense)
Dont’s:
- Things that are no true
- Things I don’t understand
- Thinks that make me think
- Internal consistence
- Typos, errors
