I enjoyed a really great session yesterday with a few of the teams at TechStars in Boulder. The room was filled with two things; passionate entrepreneurs, and people looking to help each other. Four companies presented in rapid succession their 10 minute investment pitches with some time for Q&A.
Part of those pitches were product demos in various forms, so naturally I had to chime in about my experiences demoing products. To help folks out, I said I'd post links to two of my previous posts about demos.
One other thought I'd pass along is that old saying, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice." There's nothing like knowing your story better than anyone else and being able to tell it at the drop of a hat, and tell it well. Being on top of your game comes through in spades to your audience. Then you can deliver your best presentation and deal with the questions and other things that might come up.
Best wishes to everyone at TechStars and keep practicing those pitches!
