So I thought I’d write a piece on how to not suck when you give a presentation. If you demo your product (which is always great) then tell us part of the story while you’re demo’ing. Also, asking is not appropriate at a marquee conferences like TechCrunch50, DEMO, Twiistup and the like.

I’m comfortable with introductions and then getting into the demo.&#. I talked about this in the TWiVC video but I didn’t do a good enough job of writing it up in the summary notes in the post.

Keep on the radar screen – I know the VC’s seemed to love you when they met you. If they’re not at a minimum you’ve shown that you’re thinking of them and you’ve stayed on their radar screen. And I know many stories of Benchmark or similar investors writing term sheets after the first meeting.

Your product demo crushed. Frankly, it’s the life of ANY executives with whom you want to sell product, do a business development deal with, execute M&A, a journalist you want to write about your company?—?anybody. You had an amazing meeting with an investor. The dialog was great. They told you how much they loved your space.
