Presentation guidelines

Suggested Topics to Cover In Your Company Presentation

By addressing the following questions, presenting companies will be able to provide a better presentation that will attract the partners, customers and funding they need:

• Who are you?
• What is your product / service / technology, platform or program?
• What makes your company and/or technology unique and attractive in the scope of the industry?
• Why does anyone need your product / technology (for example; does it save time or money in the industrial process or use a new mechanism of action)?
• How are you planning to make the money necessary to continue your program?
• What are your fundraising goals and how are you going to achieve them? What is your timeline?
• How to access to a partnership with you?

Presentation Tactics:

• After introducing yourself and your company; briefly state your companies short and long term goals.
• At the end of the presentation briefly restate your company goals.

Consider the following criteria when putting together your presentation:

Introduction:

• Include a greeting and an introduction of yourself and your topic.
• Use an introduction which involves the audience and is related to the content to get the audience interested.
• Use a personal message e.g. begin with an anecdote, current news/events, newspaper article)

Main topic:

• Follow a logical sequence.
• Maintain a fluent pace.
• Be enthusiastic
• If you are using PowerPoint slides, elaborate on brief points instead of reading lengthy text off each slide.
• Our recommendation is to use one slide per minute of presentation.
• Involve your audience in a meaningful way, allowing time for them to think and respond.

Conclusion:

• Logically conclude the presentation.
• Rehearse several times.

Content of the main topic:

Some recommendations for clear PowerPoint Slides

• Visuals should only support or extend the oral component of your presentation.
• Use key words but avoid fully written sentences
• Slides must be well-constructed: use only one topic per slide
• Limit your text to about 50 words per slide
• Choose a font that is easy to read (no smaller than 32p)
• Have good contrast between background and font colour
• Avoid clutter
• Do NOT use too many pictures!
• Spell check your presentation
• Test your presentation (on screen, for speed, etc.)
