The average presentation listener only hears, understands, and retains 50% of what is said during a presentation.
Are your presentations making the kind of impact you need them to?
Giving a presentation, let alone preparing for one, in front of venture capitalists and angel investors can be intimidating. You have statistic after statistic ready. You know your product, application, and business model front and back. But none of that will matter if your hands are shaking, your voice is cracking, and you can’t get the investors to connect with you or your ideas. That’s where SciSpeak comes in. Eric will help you translate your technology and science language into a presentation you can deliver with confidence knowing that your audience will connect with you and your ideas.
Grabbing The Audience’s Attention
The opening of your presentation has to be strong. If you get up in front of potential investors and start mumbling through statistics, facts, and numbers they’ll inevitably tune you out before you really get started. Eric will help you craft an opening statement that will grab the audience’s attention and keep them focused on you.
During training, Eric will help you:
- Define your goals
- Create a presentation theme
- Craft a message
- Develop an opening statement
Understanding The Common Problem
Ultimately, your idea, whether it’s a product, application, or business solution solves some sort of problem. No matter what that problem is, you need investors to understand it. If they can relate to the problem you’re trying to solve, they’ll be able to better relate to the solution you’ve created.
Here’s how Eric will help:
- Evaluate the product, application, or solution
- Turn facts and numbers into relatable content
- Translate science and technology language into everyday language

Presenting Your Solution
After you walk investors through the understanding process, you have to get them to connect with your solution. This is the key to your presentation. You’ve already got them hooked. They understand a problem exists. Now, what are you going to do about it? The meat of your presentation comes here.
Eric will help you present your solution by:
- Discovering key benefits
- Developing concrete talking points
- Finding expert opinions to back you up
- Tailoring your message to your audience
Instilling Passion
Right after you introduce your solution and discuss the key benefits, you need to get the room just as excited as you are. You need to show off your passion for what you’ve developed and built. One of the best ways to get people excited is by showing them how your solution works.
Eric will help you:
- Share your excitement
- Personalize the experience
- Show off your solution

Invite Them To Join You
Remember, you’re looking for partners to join you in solving a problem. The venture capitalists and investors want to be part of something. Inviting them to join you will be more motivating and rewarding than simply asking for funding.
Here’s what Eric will help you with:
- Developing calls to action
- Understanding audience motivators
- Reviewing Your Presentation
Do you have a pitch deck ready to present?
SciSpeak will perform a pitch deck analysis, so you’re even more prepared.
Your pitch deck is ready to go. You’ve got all the stats and facts you need to make a convincing argument. You’ve thought about how you’ll transition from point to point and slide to slide. But, have you thought about the best way to close your pitch? What about the best way to get investors’ attention? Is your messaging consistent? Do your slides look great? SciSpeak can walk through your pitch deck with you to help identify areas of improvement and give you pointers on how to best present information. Don’t miss out on the funding you need because you didn’t have an expert go over your pitch.
