Fast Pitch: Checklist

1. Who We Are
What stage are you at in the food chain? Describe internal capabilities that no one else has. Were you founded by a serial entrepreneur, a domain expert, a mad-scientist who is best in the field, or do you have a team led by a branded-CEO? Profile your external team’s capabilities. You have assembled award-winning advisors, board of directors, and investors.

2. What We Got
Describe your opportunity, market need/pain and solution. Specifically describe your traction in your market space. For example, letters of intent from marquee customers or recurring revenues.

3. Where We’re Going
Overview of your growth benchmarks/milestones, discuss what is next in the product pipeline, describe where you see the sweet spot for your customers lie.

4. What We Need
Do not offer specific financial needs, especially in a public forum. Just be prepared to answer privately these questions, “How much guys need to launch this thing off?” and “What is your use of proceeds?”

5. Why Now
Get investors interested in following up with you immediately after you meet them. State what has changed in the world, like the inflection point, that opens up the window to your particular opportunity.

6. What We Offer
Describe a basic understanding of how you will provide a return on investors’ money.

7. Case Studies and References
It is very important to cite an example, preferably with a marquee customer, how you solved a particular pain. Also be prepared to have a viable list of references, personal and for the venture, to add credibility to your deal.
