Hi Noah,

Given that we're super likely to be over the 15 min time limite right now, I think the first thing to crop will be the Advisory Board description.  I may just have to spend 15 seconds on this slide saying we have an impressive group of advisors in the tech and sports sector, etc.

As you're working through a description for Bo, can you also generate a one or two line summary that will serve to make it a 10 second slide?

Thanks,
Tom

If we're definitely over 15 minutes, I wonder if it makes sense to scrap the Advisory Board slide and briefly mention the board on our Team slide. If the judges want to know exactly who's on it, we can have an appendix slide.

I took this from the exec summary:

Highlight Hunter has a strong advisory board consisting of startup founders, Director-level managers at Microsoft, and action sports influencers. The boardʼs skills include starting VC-backed companies, leading teams in the consumer electronics space, and designing products based on a deep understanding of consumer behavior and motivations. Our advisory board has been instrumental in Highlight Hunterʼs success to date and will continue to be a valuable asset moving forward. 


If you still need a blurb for Bo, try this:
Bo's 15 years at Microsoft has been spent leading design and engineering teams such as Windows Media Center. She knows how to build software experiences that connect with consumers on an emotional level.

Let me know if you think it still needs more tweaking.

Hey Tom,

I had added this Advisory Board info to the slide notes in the main pitch deck, as well as added some notes to the Team slide. Since I had originally owned the two slides, I had updated the notes to reflect feedback I had been tracking for those slides. I realize you guys are working with your notes offline, so you probably didn't see those. At this point, I'm sure you've got those two slides figured out, so you can probably just ignore my notes in the main pitch deck.

We're definitely over 15 minutes right now.  I recorded myself this morning and it took almost 10 minutes.  I found places where I can shave another minute or so off, but I think Nick is going to need most of his time.

We could either scrap the slide altogether and just give your summary.  Or we can leave the slide so they can read it, but just give the summary and not call out anyone specifically.  I could go either way.

I say we move the Advisory Board slide to the appendix and verbally give a 1-2 liner on our Team slide.

Guys,

I just ran through my stuff and clocked it at about 7 minutes. I will be super critical and see if I can cut anything, but if there is anything you can cut on your end, Tom, now's the time to do it.
