KTN Pitching and Presenting
The KTN Access to Funding and Finance team can help you with presenting your innovation and yourself ready for investment.
Pitching to Investors
An investment pitch presentation should be a concise summary of your business plan that piques the interest of potential investors. It should NOT be just a product pitch – your product is only one element of your business plan.

The guide shows you the important information to include and a sensible order in which to present it but it is by no means a magic bullet to successfully securing investment. Use the information to build your own proposition and amend the content and order to sell your vision.
