G. Kawasaki advices are excellent of course. His 10/20/30 powerpoint rule is the ennemy of boredom! By the way I think that it is tough to fit his "10 points that interest VCs" in a 5 min presentation. These points can be discussed later during the discussion. @fromy: We all had a presentation ready. Some made a real demo. For our part we prefered a video demo (you never now if the internet connection will work, and in 5 min you hav no time to fix any issue...). I personnaly find it easier to use the visual presentation to hammer your pitch message to the audience bing very simple (1 sentence/slide or 1 visual/slide). However other teams managed to show more detailed presentation that worked very well! Good luck if you are applying! @Fabien: Personnaly I prefer exciting my interlocutor’s curiosity starting with the problem (like asking him a question that point exactly on the issue…). G.

How did you and the other teams present their concept? Did they use powerpoint/keynote? Because if there is in some cases 5 minutes or in some others less or more. It will be not easy to prepare upfornt the right presentation. Or do they do it without a beamer etc.? Wow, thanks for all this helpfull information.

If you begin your pitch with a (little) part about you, you can continue to the next part "naturally" (What problem we want to solve). And what do you think about the G. Kawasaki technics about pitch ? Best regards, Fabien. It’s not an great question, I think, but why the “who are you” part is to the end ?
