10 Slide Fund Raising Powerpoint

by John Gordon | 05:05 GMT

Looking for funding for your startup? You’ll need to state the basic value proposition for your business. Here a summary of what the angel investors and venture capitalists would like to see – no more no less:

1. your team
2. what your product/service does
3. what issue/pain is it looking to solve/address
4. what is the solution
5. what is the addressable market
6. what is the competitive landscape
7. any current customer/client/pilot pipeline
8. what is the revenue stream/source
9. what are your financial projections
10. how much are you looking for in investment
11. what will you do with the money, how will it be spent

With this information, they will know whether to call you for detailed information, or move on to the next proposal. If you can’t pull this information together, it’s time to seek out someone who can.
