I just returned from my first presentation with an Angel
Group here in Dallas.
It was pretty brutal as their format and time limits are very restrictive.
The business idea I am pitching has a solid model with
tremendous potential. The problem is I come from an engineering technology
world where we speak a different language than the money men. My biggest fear
is that this business will be cast out not because of the idea but instead
because I did not do it justice in the presentation.
My pitch was geared more for the purpose of obtaining the
mentoring then the startup capital. I do need the money but first and foremost
I need to learn the language.
How do I address this? I will not get feedback until Monday
and should it come back negative I am left with little resources to pitch this
again.

Generally, telling them that you want help is a positive thing. I`m not sure what you can do to change the "first impression" but if you`d like to discuss it - please contact me directly. I`ll be happy to do an analysis of the session and give you my thoughts.
I would indeed like to discuss this in detail and all its glory with you, but I must wait until I hear the feedback Monday and go from there before I make any further moves.
