And here are some tips I have come up with over the course of pitching for literally 1000 investors around the world. Take your time, breathe, stay calm, strategic pauses. You know, for example, instant rapport was built in 2013. We launched our Android app in 2014. We had 20,000 users at that point. Then, we were accepted into start best venture accelerator where we grew to 100,000 users.

Strategic pauses, breathe and stay call. Practice, practice, practice, the more you practice, the more you learn how to breathe and stay calm and strategically. Pause your sentences emphasize certain elements of your pitch, use your hands to really kind of tell your story and look at different people. Look around the room, spend a couple seconds looking on one side of the room. Walk to the other side of the room and spend a couple seconds looking at another part of the room. Don't focus all on one part of the room and show your passion.

Make them laugh if you can, it always helps. Before we jump into fundraising, I'm going to show you one of my presentations.
