Steve Brotman, a New York VC on pitching to VCs.

 ”….complicated pitches make the potential investor feel stupid. Entrepreneurs sometimes err on the side of complexity. There are a million ways to be complex.

There is a subtle psychology here that could be plumbed, but showing someone you are smarter by confusion isn’t a productive strategy.”
