Thanks for the great tips Danny. Missed your presentation, so this is wonderful. Even though it seems pretty straightforward, these are probably some of the most important skills an entrepreneur can develop–even if they aren't raising funding. I've found that pitching coherently is only possible once you have thought through your business and what will make it successful. My suggestion to entrepreneurs who are struggling with their pitch is to consider that it may not be public speaking jitters or inexperience pitching, but a lack of familiarity or comfort with their business itself. You cannot sell something you don't understand or believe in–simple as that. That's been my experience.
Thanks again for being a tireless supporter of the startup scene!
Danny – love your 'stupid questions' slide. On the mark.
The slide with 'Guy's advice' is also very good.
