You never know when you can use information obtained. Last wednesday I had two presentations: one for IOP (investment oriented project) commitee (my second entrepreneurial team was qualified for semifinals) and right after that I went to class to present advertising.
And I never expected Martin would ask questions, cause after my last presentation no comments followed. This time he asked me for pricing strategy, was confused with low lewel of charge - 50K EUR per week, but I explained that it was competitive price for russian market, told the situation in St.Petersburg and gave some references.
I'd better mention that by the moment of second presentation I was exhausted and was able to answer only because of clear understanding of the business idea and assumptions I had made before. I beleive this is crucial for every business.

presentation (3)
After plain text was ready and embeded into slides, I closed PPT, changed my laptop ty class computer and started google picture search. I do this even in case of real presentation for business purposes, because I need to receive inspiration. If I work for business, the next step would be looking for copyright issued to be solved. When I was making ski waxing presenations, I just used corporate web-bank - we hadrights for all the pictures. Or even I could order special pictures - but never did that (exept for specific pictures with models wearing our apparel).
In case of study presentation I just omitted this step cause nobody cares and I'm notgoing to make money out of picture use.
Next stepwas to choose custom design. Obviously I didn't have time for creating orordering mine, so I just took existing one from Microsoft Office 2007 templates (software was in Spanish and I never used it before - so I had a great time to challenge myself in understanding magnificent logic change Microsoft made for Office 2007).
When upload pictures, cut words again, make animation, check hundred of times, proofread, check goals, make presentation even more understandable to my buddieswho are going to read this.
And then peers check - I asked two friends who were online to evaluate. Critical issues were taken into consideration, presentation was checked once more and delivered. 2 hours before deadline.
Slides willbe provided soon.

presentation (2)
Since I was thiking about presentation a lot, the structure appeared in my head. I have a habit - to put a thought into my head and cook it internally in subconscious part without interrupting. I may read related articles, search for pictures, walk down the river queue, but finally - voila, this is the result.
So by the time of deadline I really had an impression, so I just sat down, openned PPT and started typing. Plain text and some bullet-points. No design, no slide breakdown - just a plain thought expressed in words.
After that I revised, took out some information I don't need and went to designing. I really emphasize content over design, so in case of real presentation that would be my scratch cards - info I present, not show.
Since slideshare doesn't work now, I will upload plain presentation later.

Presentation
As I told in previous post, I made presentation very quickly. The following comments should be considered:
1. Although presentation was prepared for investors, the VCs were my classmates and the aim was to caught their attenton.
2. Since I made speech without background presentation, the ppt file was distributed additionally.
3. The ppt was created for VCs to read (I know that that's not the initial goal of power point, but I decided to give them PPT, not PDF because of two reasons: (1) it's easier to explain logics with basic animation (to give information piece by piece; (2) I can't make nice pdfs in my laptop, but PPT - yes.).
The step-by-step explanation will follow.
