Reports : Effective presentations to Venture Capitalists to raise money for R&D
From time-to-time, you may pitch an idea where you are specifically looking for cash to develop a practical application rather than approval of an idea for further research. Your potential investor is exactly that, someone looking for a return on an investment. What do you do?
