Startup Tip…

If you’ve got traction, share it earlier in the presentation:  There were several startups that had pretty impressive early traction (like users and revenues).  They didn’t talk about this until later in the presentation.  I’d suggest possibly getting this message out earlier in the presentation, because it will grab people’s attention and cause them to listen more intently to the rest of your story.  Imagine an opening sentence that is something like this:  “Hi, we’re XYZ.  We launched just a few weeks ago and we’re getting some encouraging early evidence that we’ve built something people want…Here’s what we’ve learned from our 14,000 users…”.  I’m not suggesitng you use that exact sentence, just a thought.  When dealing with investor types, remember that folks have short attention spans and you’re best served by grabbing them as early as possible with something they care about.
