AI Contestant Tips and Guidelines

Preparing for Panel of Investors Inquiries

Tips and Guidelines

In view of the competition for funding, presenters should be prepared to prove that:

• You’ve got the timing right for your technology or application. For example, MySpace was too early but Facebook was just right
• Your management team is up to the challenge. Have any of them:
  • Turned a company around?
  • Done an IPO?
  • Managed a fast-growth company?
• You’ve got an exit plan that provides sufficient ROI
• Our investment is safe with you
• You’re committed to your company’s success. Are you willing, for example, to put your house up as collateral?

Also:

• Be sure to prepare and practice your presentation for a maximum 10 minute pitch
• Time for Q&A will vary depending on the length of your presentation
• You will have a total of 15 minutes for both your pitch and Q&A
• You can present with or without visual aids (e.g. PowerPoint)
