I usually direct people to this post --still hanging atop the search rankings for " How to be a VC analyst" years later. You can try and alert them to other traffic, slow it down, ease pain by being calm and present, but ultimately, it''s up to them to get stronger and stronger with every step and continue on down the road.

As a VC and former entrepreneur let me offer you some advice. The short answer is that you should have multiple versions of your “pitch deck” (a short, visual presentation in Keynote, PPT or similar and shared as a PDF) and each occasion has a specific goal. This is part of a series on how to improve your fund raising game.

I know it’s a bit of a cliche that VCs say they like to be helpful, but I really do think of this as a service job—not one that’s purely about asset allocation. It hasn’t always been as rewarding as it could be, however. This is how Fred Wilson described me back in 2010. I took a lot of pride in that when I first read it.

It spoke to me because it so resonates with my nearly daily advice to entrepreneurs and VCs alike.

A typical investment discussion is not a bed of roses.

I recently filmed a show for This Week in Venture Capital in which I talked about how to prepare for a VC meeting: whom you’ll meet, who should attend from your side, what materials you should bring and how you should run the meeting. The “Triple Play&# of VC Presentations. But take prompts from the VC.

Most people suck at presenting to big groups. It’s a shame because the ability to nail these presentations at key conferences can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to influence journalists, business partners, potential employees, customers and VCs. – No great presentation can be delivered like a conversation.

So here’s advice I give people all the time when they’re raising money. You’ve all been to a presentation where you were overwhelmed with information and while you thought that lady was really smart you can’t remember anything about what she said the next day. Show me your unicorn. Narratives matter.
