In my personal opinion, I disagree with talking about yourself in the beginning. The first reason: in most cases, presentation have a limited time, and I think it’s better to use that time to convey your idea to the audience instead of talking about yourself and your dreams. Second reason: It’s possible that some of your audience might be interested to know more about you, but certainly not all of them, and therefore they might find it boring to listen to all this information. This can make them lose interest quickly.

Instead of talking about yourself and your dreams, it might be a good idea to start with an interesting example that demonstrates why this project is important. It is better to do it in a way that makes the audience reach that conclusion themselves rather than feed it to them.

I hope this helps.
