Guy Kawasaki: 10/20/30 Rule of Powerpoint

Guy Kawasaki, the guy who invented the idea of an evangelist for companies is blogging and has a great post on how to do Powerpoint presentations that aren't crap: 10 slides in 20 minutes in a font larger than 30 point.

As a venture capitalist, I have to listen to hundreds of entrepreneurs pitch their companies. Most of these pitches are crap: sixty slides about a “patent pending,” “first mover advantage,” “all we have to do is get 1% of the people in China to buy our product” startup. These pitches are so lousy that I’m losing my hearing, there’s a constant ringing in my ear, and every once in while the world starts spinning.
