Many of Tamil startups aren’t going to get far without a pitch deck.
You are going to need two different versions of your pitch deck.
One is the version you will send out with all pertinent information, including everything you need to have people understand your story and where you are heading
The second version of the pitch deck will be used during presentations and contain illustrative graphics that will add to your presentation.

Three minutes, 44 seconds is the average time a venture capitalist spends looking at a pitch deck, according to TechCrunch A DocuSend and Harvard Business professor study shows that the average deck is 19 pages long.

For a presentation in venues beyond elevators, Guy Kawasaki recommends no more than 10 slides, not using anything smaller than a 30-point font, and keeping presentation time to 20 minutes.2 I’ve also heard of companies simply sending a couple of slides to firms like Union Square Ventures and getting funded. In terms of pages and categories, Sequoia Capital recommends including these 10 aspects:

1. Company purpose
2. Problem
3. Solution
4. Why now
5. Market size
6. Product
7. Team
8. Business model
9. Competition
10. Financials

When you get a call from VC Company

1 VC firms have different types of individuals working at the firm. Most junior people want to be analysts. These people are either MBA students in an internship or people that just graduated from school.

2  The most immediate position after the analyst is the associate. An associate could be either junior or senior

3 Over associates, you will be able to find principals. They are senior people who can make decisions when it comes to investments but they do not have full power in the execution of the overall strategy of the firm

4 The most senior people within a VC firm are above principals and are called partners. Partners could be general partners or managing partners.

5 Limited partners (LPs) provide capital for venture firms, similarly to the way VCs fund startups—they invest in companies in exchange for equity (or part ownership of the business) LPs include endowments, corporate pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, wealthy families, and funds of funds.

6 Another figure in a VC firm is the entrepreneur in residence (EIR). EIRs are mainly individuals that have a good relationship with the VC and perhaps have given the VC an exit, helping them earn cash

The 80/20 rule is one of the most helpful concepts of time and life management. It’s also called “Pareto Principle”, after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first wrote about it in 1895. He divided society into to parts, one called the “vital few”,the top 20%, and the other, the “trivial many”, the bottom 80%. This principle says that 20% of our activities will account for 80% of our results. This means that if you have a list of 10 things to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth five or ten times or more than the other eight items put together.

Number of Tasks versus Importance of Tasks
Focus on Activities, Not Accomplishments
Motivate Yourself
Make a list off all the key goals you want to achieve. Divide then into top 10 or 20% and bottom 80%.

Start doing the most important job first, here is the rule, “If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first”. Also remember the second rule of frog eating: “If you have to eat a live frog at all, it doesn’t pay to sit and look at it for long time”. So prioritize your work and start taking  action, don’t just sit and procrastinate.
