Practice, practice, practice.

Pitch to everyone who will listen to become comfortable with your story. Listeners will ask you questions, many of which you do not anticipate, and this process will make your plan more robust.

When Jon co-founded Chemdex back in 1996, he & his Co-Founders told their story to anyone who would listen: pharmaceutical companies, scientists, researchers, competitors, family members, classmates . . . everyone possible. After each meeting, they would sit down & discuss the feedback. This process helped hone their idea, positioning, presentation, and approach. Most importantly, it brought to light issues that they had not foreseen.
