Business Pitch?
Hey ya'll. I have a kind of vague question but I'm hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction. I need to make a presentation to pitch my idea to a couple of interested investors. I have a rough draft of my business plan but I don't know what kind of information they'd be looking for in my pitch.
So with that said, what kind of information do investors usually look for? What my plan is, how it will work, etc? Are they going to want to see cost and profit expectations and stuff? I've never done one of these and am kind of treading on foreign waters. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

What your product does, and why people will be interested in it. What do you need the money for?: Are you planning on starting your own company or selling off the idea. Who will be on your management team (this is critical, they will not fund a bunch of "guys" that have a good idea) They are looking to see that you and your team have the leadership capabilities to make them money. What is the return on their investment (how much time, and how much will they make).
Search around the net for a "startup business plan".

It looks like you need someone to write a business plan for you. The most important thing you need to prove is: Will this business work (Which is profits)? Then you need, entering the market if there is a current market, how to create one if there isnt one, exit strategies, strategies to make more money, to keep the business floating for a year or two with low customer base, etcetc....And expand..But, they also need to see if all of you are resourceful, know how to run a company, know what to do when something happpens etc etc...
