HOW TO NAIL YOUR
                   PITCH
          IN 5 MINUTES
               A quick guide to help you organize your presentation for
                          the final pitch at Startup Weekend



By:

Nezar Kadhem
Tomas Paulauskas
In todays competitive and fierce funding climate, entrepreneurs
must stand out, and pitch their ideas in a convincing &
compelling manner. At startup conferences & Angel / VC
meetings, all you have is 5 minutes, yes, 5 minutes to step on
stage and convince your potential investors, partners, and
customers to pick you. Getting this presentation right is crucial
as it can lead to financing, buzz, and growth; AND getting it
wrong: doesnt.
YOUR 1ST SEXY LOGO
SLIDE

 On your first slide, you will need nothing but a logo.
      Plaster your slick & attractive logo that you created during the
                                    weekend



 Introduce yourself.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Nothing sounds better than starting your pitch with a
  problem statement.


 And want your listeners to believe it?
       Start it off with a story.


 How big is the problem?
       Can you relate it to someone who has the pain? How many of
       people are like this person?
SOLUTION
 The Solution is Your Product / Service


 Right after name it, state your mantra
      A Mantra is a tagline that summarizes your business in clear and
       concise framing of 2 sentences, not more.


 Clearly explain how you alleviate the pain
      Ensure that the audience clearly understands what you sell, and
       what is your value proposition to your customer.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
 Clearly explain in steps how your product of service works
      Users Open the app / webpage
      Users login
      How do they pick the service?
      How do they pay?
      Users use your service And are satisfied.


 Give examples. Showing off your prototype is extremely
  useful.
HOW DO YOU MAKE
MONEY?
 Clearly describe your business model
      Show the monetary inflow and outflow between your company
       and relevant stakeholders in exchange for value proposition.
      Create a diagram that demonstrates the process between you,
       the customers, and key partners.


 Example:

Groupon.com
THE FACTS!
As convincing as your business might sound to you, its important to
recognize that it is still largely untested guesses & hypothesizes that
will almost certainly change
                                                           - Ash Maurya

   Prove that your customers want you! Go out to the field.
       Conduct surveys (Quantitative)
       Interview / Talk to your customers (Qualitative)
       Talk to your key partners

 Want to impress?
     Great to add quotes from people you spoke with  I would
      definitely pay
     Even better? Tell us how much they said they are willing to pay.
YOUR MARKET
 Who is your customer?
      Specify your target customer persona


 How big is your market?
      Give concrete numbers
      Explain how you got them


 Who is your competitor?
      How are you better?
      Differentiation strategy?   Low-cost   strategy?   Diversification
       strategy?
MARKETING
 What is your market-entry strategy?
      How are your going to reach your early adopters?
      What is your customer acquisition plan?
      Be creative. Most investors dislike ideas that have a high burn
       rate for marketing




 Even though your business idea is promising and
  scalable, you must elaborate on the small steps you will
  execute to successfully enter the market.
BUSINESS
ECONOMICS
 Dont confuse the judges with excel tables!


 Investors are looking for key numbers:
      What is the initial required investment to start your business?
      What is your pricing strategy? Can you back it with your customer
       surveys?
      When do you forecast to breakeven?
         How many products / services do you need to sell to breakeven?
      Show a graph of where / when your
         Costs (customer acquisition costs) are going to decline. Be ready to
          explain why.
         Cash flows are positive
KILLER SLIDE!
 Give a reason for us to believe that you are ready to ROCK!


 End your presentation by mentioning:
      That you have successfully identified a customer pain point
      That you have a prototype (landing page) that you created over the
       weekend.
      That you found a clear market entry strategy, and that you need (x)
       amount of money to begin your venture.


 And of course Thank you!
WE WISH YOU THE
BEST OF LUCK !
