I would also first take the time to understand what they value at your company. This is important because you may be selling an aspect of Elixir that they don’t care about.
For example, with our startup, we do not need a high availability system. A few minutes of downtime per day is not a big deal.
What drew us to Elixir was how it excels at taming complexity, maintainable data processing pipelines, and the tooling around it such as Livebook.

Then you can tailor the presentation to highlight those points.
