Format: Each group will present a 10-minute "VC Pitch" followed by a few questions. All members of the team should participate in the presentation.

The presentation should be no more than 10-slides. Read this post for guidelines on how to structure your presentation. You don't need to follow the guidelines strictly, but they are a good starting point. Remember that your presentation should be a self-contained document (often called a "deck") which should be read-able if you email it to someone. Assume that the document you're uploading will be read by VCs and think about what information should be conveyed by the deck if some VC is quickly going through it on a plane.
