Agenda • Topics • Final PowerPoint Presentation • Building from your business plan • Activity • Design your final PowerPoint Presentation
Check-in: Business Plan • You should have completed your business plan (it should be typed)
Use the PowerPoint presentation as a visual aid while you pitch to investors • What are the major points you would highlight for a company that was considering investing in your app? • The pitch – what your app is, who it’s for and why it’s a good investment • The deck – the accompanying PowerPoint slide • The pitch and deck should work together
The Pitch • The story of your app • Sell your company to them • It’s worth investing with us because… • Your PowerPoint should be clear and relay to the investor that you have thought about your customers • How would you persuade a customer to purchase your app?
The Pitch • Start with a Hook • Something to get the audience’s attention: Facts, Skit, Quote, Photo, etc. • Describe the App • What does it do?, Who is it for?, What’s the value proposition, or why should they buy your product?, How is it different from competitors? • Why is it a good investment? • How are you going to make money?, How many people will want it? • Strong 1 Sentence Conclusion • Our app FriendMap is the fastest way to find where your friends are and millions of users are going to want it!
The Deck (your PowerPoint) • Know your audience • Simple design • One idea per slide • Use of images to support ideas in pitch– don’t use a lot of text • Be organized – beginning, middle, end
How to start your deck: • Start with a white presentation and black lettering • Do not get caught up in anything up in anything BUT the information for first version • Themes, images, colors etc. will come after the information is set...this is so you don’t waste time perfecting something that is not relevant. • You will customize by adding graphics, etc., after you have the information firmed up
Visual Tips for Slide Deck • Add screenshots of your app • Add relevant photos • Customize your theme to make it clean and visually engaging • Include graphics such as your competitor analysis and screenshots of your app • Use graphics instead of text whenever possible
Task List • Be at least halfway done with your PowerPoint presentation • Prototype Development: • Finish working on the functionality of your app • Test it on a target user. Don't spend time making it pretty until you've tested it!
