Hi Fastlane,

1) Simplify your pitch down to the core tech / biz they will be investing in.

2) Show very clearly use of funds.

3) Show even more clearly the payback schedule.

4) Make sure that you have a product that is complete and ready for market at the end of the investment cycle. Or be clear this is phase one funding and phase two will be needed. The multiphase investment is harder to sell to investors.

5) Show distribution agreements, portal agreements, revenue partnerships.

6) Harvest value of IP and exit stratgey for the investors, need to be clearly spelled out.

7) Smile alot, be honest, control enthusiasm.

8) Put yourself in their shoes, and evaluate the oppurtunity and risk, and finally what is a reasonable reward.

Good Luck, been through this many times.

Ken
