FOR ENTREPRENEURS

Presenting to Allegis

You have about one hour to convince us that you have a great business. Try to achieve the following in your presentation:

The Audience: Investors not customers

  • Build Interest: How do investors win?
  • Build Credibility: Domain Knowledge
  • Be Open & Transparent
  • Show your Passion & Vision
  • Be someone people want to be involved with

What we look for:

  • Experienced Management: Vision & Leadership
  • Financeable: CEO can fundraise
  • Compelling Market: A new idea
  • Sense of Urgency: Desire, energy, adaptability, flexibility
  • Strategic Focus: Focus, Focus, Focus
  • Protectable Business: "Secret sauce"
  • Exit Strategy: How do investors make money?

VCs should add value:

  • Get the best VC you can find
  • Instant Credibility
  • They should have a good rolodex and share it with you
  • They should be coaches, not players
