Hey Guys,

Suresh had a ton of really awesome and actionable feedback today. I'm more stoked on the presentation now than I have been yet. Gabe has some notes to write up and Chris has some slide work to do, but I thought I would share the changes I made to by pitch based on Suresh's comments. It may not be perfect yet, but you get the idea. Note that I moved the traction slide notes to be after the offer slide and the final slide to be the demo where I talk about how awesome our WORKING product is and why HH is a game changer.
My pitch is posted on Dropbox - "...Pre Suresh" is from before our meeting and "FINAL" incorporates the feedback.
The pitch is located on the following path:
Pitch Deck -> FINAL DECK -> FINAL PITCH DECK -> Nick's Pitch

Tom,

Check this out to see if we can prevent any overlap.

Chris,

I put "HIGHLIGHT THIS" next to the items I plan to talk to on the traction slide to build in some highlight animation and so that they are called out on the timeline.


I think it would be good to meet tomorrow after work and run through the slides and pitch with at least Tom, myself, and 1 or 2 other people. I can volunteer my house in Ballard and can cook some dinner for folks so that we can get started around 5:30 and go as long as we need to keep things going. We can also do the usual and meet at Tom's office or something at 5:30.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Nick

Awesome. Glad to hear that. I am still @ work :(
 
Any chance we can meet up on the East side say at Bravern or Tom's office?

Yes. I'd really like to practice with anyone who can get together tomorrow night. 

My office is always available.

I likely can't meet tomorrow evening. I'm doing an interview of sorts after work tomorrow. Fingers crossed because man, I'm really hating my current job right now.

I took copious notes based on Suresh's feedback, so I will be revising the slides tonight/tomorrow as such.

Tom/Nick, if you can continue to work with your notes outside of the main slide deck, that would be great.

Rock on!

Good luck, Chris.

Tom,

Plan on 5:30 or 6:00PM at your office?

Noah,

It would be great if you could make it because I think if you wait until Weds and have comments, it will be difficult/stressful to properly address them.

Anyone else think they might be able to attend?

Feel free to show up at 5:30 if that works for you.

Thanks,
Tom

I'm writing up my slides right now and hope to have them done ahead of when we meet tonight.  I'll try to get them onto dropbox early enough that people can comment.
