I’ve seen many different formats in past years, and the most effective one is probably the YC’s pitch deck. It’s too short—maybe a couple of minutes more would be helpful—but it’s effective. Attending many demo days, I’ve learned one important thing:
if you have anything significant to tell me, then say it at the very beginning
Traction, revenue, adoption, users, bla bla bla. Once you get my attention, it’s easier to tell me all the rest.
But, be clear and concise. It’s so hard, I know but it’s also a sign that you can communicate what you do in a few minutes.
