@Josh Vickers
Yes, screenshots are a good idea, especially if you only have 4 minutes to demo the team, the company and the product.
Real demos are much better (and more forgiving) in a smaller setting.

Thomas,

So @rich made a great point. Would you say that screenshots only is a good guideline for any presentation under what 5 minutes or so?

Im not demoing at YC demo day (so maybe a conversation for a different post) but thought they were solid points for any demo.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the advise. I’m in Switzerland and will surely use the tips listed above since we are now searching for capital to launch.

@rich

Agreed! In 4 minutes, it is hard to present AND demo a product. I would stick to screenshots of the product too.

Good advice.

I would add one piece of advice to the “presentation and product demo” category: don’t show off too much of your application. Live demos are slow and boring. If you are going to show one a demo, make sure to show the one single best feature your product has to offer.

Some of the best presentations I saw did not show the live site at all – they only showed screenshots.

Just my 2¢
