Part 2: Tips for a Great Presentation  Key factors to include will be an executive summary, financial statements, and potential exit strategies.  A thorough presentation clearly demonstrates key components such as personalized stories that investors can relate to. The ability to connect on an emotional level appeals many investors  The ability to effectively use pictures to tell a story of who you are and what you are all about is another useful tool as well.  Understanding the balance between sheer information and personal connection is key. Obviously investors will want to see critical information such as overall costs etc. but there is a fine line when it comes to overloading people with information.  Keeping things simple and too the point. Sell yourself, your passions, influences, and what you bring to the table.  Engaging your audience is another awesome tool that can truly effect the outcome of the presentation. Utilizing other team members and delegating tasks throughout the presentation show leadership skills that demonstrates confidence, an important characteristic
