How to stand out in a pre-seed pitch: 1. Ask yourself what you believe that nobody else in your industry does. What are you doing differently to the incumbents? 2. Find a way to prove that one difference is something that will make people buy your product.
When it comes to consumer products the primary reason that VCs want to see traction is to show that there is demand for what you are building in the market. If you don't have traction for these products, then it's very hard to raise.
When building a “visionary” brand, the founder’s story is often front and center. I don’t like this slide. I HATE when founders tell their story instead of the company’s story. I’d be very careful making the pitch about you and not your company.
Not all VCs are liars. The fact that so many people push this idea is astonishing. The harsh reality is that the top 0.05% of companies raise venture capital. So if you are significantly above average, in the 99th percentile, you still only have a 5% chance of raising.
Problem-Solving Tips From A Lawyer Elon Musk uses First Principles Thinking So do lawyers! Break down the problem right to its roots. Then Take a step-by-step approach and focus on one issue at a time to rebuild the puzzles with the optimal solution.
Without mentioning any names... There are way too many people here giving "advice" as a job. Because it's their business, they feel the need to post daily. This leads to them spewing so much BS that the actual valuable information they have gets lost under all the crap.
What do they have in common? • Apple • Moderna • Microsoft • Google • Uber • WeWork • OpenAI • Amazon • Tesla • Theranos • Meta All raised Venture Capital. VCs decide the People, Products and Technologies society depends upon. VC is the most influential industry.
🚀 What is one key skill you think sets successful entrepreneurs apart from the rest? I say storytelling! It was Steve Jobs' secret weapon.
Need to Improve Your Pitch's Narrative? Take time to explain the PROBLEM. Don't skip to the solution. Marvel spent more time developing the character of Thanos than most of the Avengers. Why? The hero's success is measured by the strength of the villains they defeat.
