10-20-30

Guy Kawasaki is a smart guy: his 10-20-30 Rule of PowerPoint says that a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.

Guy says:

If you must use more than ten slides to explain your business, you probably don’t have a business.

He goes on to list the ten topics that a venture capitalist cares about are:

  1. Problem
  2. Your solution
  3. Business model
  4. Underlying magic/technology
  5. Marketing and sales
  6. Competition
  7. Team
  8. Projections and milestones
  9. Status and timeline
  10. Summary and call to action
