10/20/30 Rule of Powerpoint. |
How do you deliver your message?
According to a blog entry by Guy Kawasaki, managing director of Garage Technology Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.
This rule is applicable for any presentation to reach agreement: for example, raising capital, making a sale, forming a partnership, etc. He calls it the 10/20/30 Rule of Powerpoint. Optimal number of slides: 10; presented in 20 minutes; using font no smaller than 30 points.
This is a powerful rule that should not be ignored when preparing your pitch to VC’s, Investment Bankers, Angels, and even to key customers and new management team candidates. |
