How to make a Good Startup Presantation


1. Elevator Pitch


Elevator pitch it's basically the short summary that you are giving to the investors. That is the most needed thing to your startup presentation. That summary will decide that you are getting the investment or not. So keep it simple and captivating.


2. The Problem


There are many startups that are not much problem solvers, but they focus on the temporary market. Your startup should be different from others.

Your best asset is to the problem your startup is going to solve. Show the investor in the presentation about the problem, and the best way to do that is to tell a story. So how you can tell that? Show them the experience of the people. Make your presentation visually more deep. But don't give them a lot more information than they needed. Address the problem in an effective manner

3. Solution



The most important thing is that how your product is going to solve that problem that world is facing. And how can you implement it? what would be the effect? the best way to tell this thing is to make a demo. But the most common mistake the entrepreneurs do is that there Demo doesn't work well as it was expected. So check your demo and make the changes if there is any error. Because if your demo is not good enough you will lose you, investors. The only thing you can do is convince you to demo that how they can solve the problem.


4. Market Size



Keep one thing in mind that investors are not Dumb people. They do some research on their own before investing in your product. They have been in this market for a long time from when you have never thought about startup. So you can not say any false thing, They will not take you seriously and you will lose you investment. You just only need to show them that why this market is interesting and will make money.

5. Business model


One thing you have to keep in mind that investors are the people who will only invest in your product if your product will make good money. So you need to show them that how will your product make money. You can so them 1-2 different way to to make the profit. But don't show them 60 different ways.Just focus on the only 1-2 ways to make the profit.

6. Competiton



The one thing you should keep in mind that you are not only one solving that problem. There are many people trying to do that So you will have to convince them that how your product is going to get profit and how your product is different that you competitors. The best way to do this is to compare your product with your competitor's product.

7. Market Planning


The market planning is the important thing you should prepare about.That how you are going to sell your product how will you advertise it? What will be your market strategy? You should convince them that how you will stand in that crucial market.

8. Team


The team is the only thing that will get your startup the funding. Don't be shy because you don't have experience in the Industry job. Because there are many big companies now their founders have never done any job in there Life. Fresh minds can only provide the brilliant ideas.

9. Projections


The thing you will have to show is what your startup have achieved up to now and how the funding will improve your startup. You should have to do some industry research about this kind of stuff.My personal opinion find a mentor.

10. Needs


You will have to define your investors that how their funding will make your product better. You should have to define that for what you are looking for. You will have to convince them that how X amount of money can fulfill your needs.

8 ways to get Funding to your Startup


1. Apply for a Bank Loan






  • This thing won’t happen for a Fresh startup unless you have a good credit history or existing assets that you are willing to put at risk for collateral. In the U.S., you may find that the Small Business Administration (SBA) can get you infusions of cash without normal backup requirements. 



2. Join with startup accelerators. 





  • These organizations, such as Y Combinator, are very well known these days, and are often associated with major universities, community development organizations, and also with large companies. Most of them provide free resources to startups, including office facilities and consulting, but many provide seed funding as well.


3. Seek venture-capital investors. 





  • These are professional investors, such as Accel Partners, who invest institutional money in qualified startups, usually with a proven business model, ready to scale. They typically look for big opportunities, needing a couple of million dollars or more, with a proven team. Look for a warm introduction to make this work.


4. Contact to local Angel-investor groups. 





  • Most metropolitan areas have groups of local high-net-worth individuals interested in supporting startups, and willing to syndicate amounts up to a million dollars for qualified startups. Use online platforms such as Gust to find them, and local networking to find ones that relate to your industry and passion.


5. Start a crowdfunding.



  • This newest source of funding, where anyone can participate per the JOBS Act, is exemplified by online sites such as Kickstarter. Here people make online pledges to your startup during a campaign, to pre-buy the product for later delivery, give donations or qualify for a reward, such as a T-shirt.

6. Get small-business grant.





  • These are government funds allocated to support new technologies and important causes, such as education, medicine and social needs. A good place to start looking is Grants.gov, which is a searchable directory of more than 1,000 federal grant programs. The process is long, but it doesn’t cost you any equity.


7. Say your needs to friends and family. 





  • As a general rule, professional investors will expect that you have already have commitments from this source to show your credibility. If your friends and family don’t believe in you, don’t expect outsiders to jump in. This is the primary source of non-personal funds for very early-stage startups.


8. Fund your startup yourself. 





  • These days, the costs to start a business are at an all-time low, and over 90 percent of startups are self funded (also called bootstrapping). It may take a bit longer to save some money before you start and grow organically, but the advantage is that you don’t have to give up any equity or control. Your business is yours alone.
  • You can see that all of these options require work and commitment on your part, so there is no magic or free money. Every funding decision is a complex tradeoff between near-term and longer-term costs and paybacks, as well as overall ownership and control. 
  • With the many options available, there is no excuse for not living your dream, rather than dreaming about living.
