TED Talk 2007: David S. Rose on Pitching to VCs

It’s pretty amazing that the video is from five years ago and has been viewed something like 500,000 times.

Even though in the years since, I’ve done a lot more pitch coaching with a lot higher production value, it turns out that there is not much I would change in the content all these years later. Good luck with your fundraising.

    This was the best single how-to on investor presentations that I’ve seen. Informative, tight, straight-shooting. One thing that’s different: so many people focus on the substance of individual slides, but David emphasizes the need to tie the entire deck together in an emotional arc. Best advice for keeping an audience engaged and energized from start to finish.
