Cleaned transcript (lightly edited)

What makes a standout investor presentation is simplicity and clarity. Keep your ideas simple, explain clearly what your business does and understand why an investor might be interested. When you combine a simple idea, a clear explanation and a message shaped around investor needs, you can create a standout pitch.

I used to work as an investor. I listened to a lot of people pitching their ideas to me and my colleagues, and it was often exhausting. The pitches that were a pleasure to hear had one thing in common: they were short and simple. They hooked us in and helped us see why the investment made sense for them. Then, quickly, the discussion shifted into conversation mode rather than pitch mode. At that point you’re not listening to someone asking for money; you’re working together to work out whether the investment is a fit. That’s where you want to get to.

A standout investor pitch is one that is genuinely focused on the investor. What matters to them? The returns, the market opportunity and the strength of the management team. Think about the questions investors will want to ask and answer them in the most concise, compelling and impactful way. That’s what makes a standout pitch.
