Dave McClure's How to Pitch a VC

Dave McClure: How to Pitch a VC

Written by chris on March 27, 2009 – 9:41 am

Last weekend I attended PresentationCamp in San Francisco. It was my first non-LaidOffCamp “camp”, and I was surprised (and flattered) that some people turned to me for guidance about how to run a camp. I personally tried my best to deflect questions to Dale Larson who I knew had much more “camp” experience than me.

Anyways, I only managed to catch one of the presentations on video, Dave McClure’s “How to Pitch a VC (aka Startup Viagra: How to Give a VC a Hard-On)”. For those of you who don’t know him, Dave is a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur, angel investor, startup advisor, and blogger. Enjoy!

But smiling and batting your eyes is so much easier!

One thing I've found interesting in my conversations with some VC friends of mine is they don't care how much "buzz" is around a company or even if they've been on the front page of The New York Times, for that matter. It's about the business plan, tech and market potential. Many of the most popular startups in terms of name recognition (I can name names) have absolutely no chance in the long run. Some investors are still blind-sided by the buzz, but smart investors really couldn't care less, as long as it will make money.
