 ## What to do
 
 Clearly state what exactly you're doing, what problem you're solving (if applicable), and how you plan to approach it.
 
+Make it engaging and interesting, leave the audience with something memorable.
+
+In your slide deck, avoid walls of text at all cost, use visuals instead.
+
+We recommend not having more than 3 people presenting as this really messes with your presentation's flow as you hand off to them.
+
+Speak loudly and clearly so everyone can hear you! Use the LAV mic if possible, and learn how to use it correctly. This [video](https://youtu.be/wd_f7iYbFrA) may help. Whatever you do, do not speak into it directly, you will make very loud and annoying popping sounds.
+
 Rehearse your pitch and keep it under the time limit.
 
 ## What not to do
 
 Don't get bogged down by details, this is a high level overview of your idea.
 
+Don't get too technical, assume your audience is investors who know nothing about programming.
+
 ## Suggested talking points
 
 These are just suggestions and not at all mandatory, but may help get you started.
