What topics should be covered in a venture capital presentation?
I making a slide show for a venture capital presentation and I was wondering what topic I should cover in the presentation. I already have the business plan complete and I’m trying o figure out what topics I should take from the business plan to focus on because I don’t want to babble on about irrelevant topics and bore the venture capitalist. Also keep in mind that this is an internet company

The most important aspects of your presentation are the market and how your product/service will benefit the target customer/be better than competitors and build repeat or viral sales. Make sure your presentation is well-thought, with a logical flow. Finally, understand that VCs primarily invest in great management teams and/or exceptional technologists. They are more interested in great people than they are with a technology or business model from someone that doesn't have the backgound and experience to see it through to success. So, if you don't have the background, I strongly recommend you get it before pitching your idea. If you don't want to wait until you acquire the knowledge yourself, you need to recruit it into your team. Good luck.
