Demo Day Presentation

The Final Demo Day Presentation in Action

DashlyHR founder Dennis Kennelly pitched at ERA 26 Demo Day with a clean, story-led presentation we designed to bring clarity and impact to his message.

Before & After

While the client provided the script, the real challenge was turning that narrative into something visually clear and investor-friendly. To solve that, we introduced characters, supporting graphics, and smart on-click animations to pace the story right.

Text on white background titled 'Script' describing business interactions and introduction to industry superstar Jose from MainPower Electric.

Every graphic was custom-designed to align with the message. We focused on keeping the demo day presentation simple, visually engaging, and easy to follow—while animations added energy and flow without overwhelming the audience.

One key slide needed to explain how DashlyHR flags candidates as Red, Yellow, or Green. We used a clean visual system to bring that to life, helping investors quickly grasp what sets the platform apart.

Using Animation in Key Slides

To boost engagement, we layered in subtle animations across most slides. These micro-movements helped guide attention, kept the flow dynamic, and elevated the overall polish of the demo day presentation.
