Zingfin Investor Day Pitch
Zingfin is an A.I. platform that predicts stock changes based on social media influences. I helped them hone the CEO's presentation in front of an 800+ person audience of potential investors.

Speaking of words… Although Balaji Viswanathan (Zingfin's CEO) was comfortable talking to investors one-on-one, he wasn't sure how to pitch in front of a large audience. I wrote the script he memorized two days before, then recited word-for-word on the presentation day. He was a great sport about it.
We needed to do something so the live audience would pay attention. So we embraced what was once an obstacle, Balaji's thick accent, and had a little fun with it. With the first slide, anyone who was paying attention laughed. Anyone who wasn't couldn't help but look up.
There are pitch decks you send to people before meetings. Those decks have a lot of words and are meant to be read. Then, there are presentations, where the deck serves as a visual placeholder for what's being said. This is one of those visual presentations.
