The single best trait of an entrepreneur is someone who can tell a story.
Investors have a short attention span.
They will give you the most attention at the start of your pitch.
In the first 5 minutes be crystal clear about what you actually do.
Let's dive in:
1. Company Purpose
What is your mission?
Condense into a simple powerful sentence.
Don't list features– communicate your purpose.
Include a simple graphic that describes your business model.
Nobody cares what you can do. Everybody cares what you can do for them.
2. Problem
What challenges do you address and solve?
• Describe the pain of your customer (bigger the better)
• Explain how this is currently addressed
• Show why the current market offerings are inadequate
Don't build a solution that's looking for a problem.
3. Solution
What key points will communicate the most value?
• What was your 'aha' moment?
• Why is your value proposition unique and compelling?
• Are you building a competitive moat such as network effects?
• How big can this market grow?
