Questions to be answered for presentation to the investor.

How to prepare a presentation for investors to pay attention to your business project and make an impression?

Many entrepreneurs can't find the right words, justify the numbers, and their ideas lie on the shelf unclaimed. The presentation is an excellent format, which will clearly show all the advantages and demand for your business project.

Please, practice the presentation several times before the interview. Smoothly move from question to question. Prepare a few examples to explain the complex technical points. Be prepared to answer the questions so that the investor understands that you have a deep understanding of the product and its promotion. Clear understanding is especially important if you are looking for MVP funding.

1. Imagine yourself and the name of the project (or the essence of one proposal).
2. The problem. The problem must be real and significant.
3. The solution. Give the essence of the solution. No technical details are needed at this stage.
4. Business model. Explain how you earn or plan to earn. Specify your turnover and marginality.
5. The secret of success. Investor should get the insight, why your product will help to solve the problem.
6. Marketing and sales. The volume of the market should be described so that the investor can verify it. Do not give too many forecasts based on info from consulting companies. As a rule, they are not confirmed by anything. Explain how you plan to attract, retain and increase the number of clients.
7. Competition. Give a comparison of your product with competitors. If you think you have no competitors, then you have poorly studied the market. An investor wants to hear what's good about you, not what's bad about your competitors.
8. Management team
9. Financial projections and key figures. Provide a forecast for the next year and 5 years ahead. Not only in money, but also the number of clients, etc. You need to explain on what your figures are based. Specify the amount and for what you need. And how you are ready to guarantee that the investor meets his obligations. 10. Current status, achievements so far. Show the dynamics of development.

Positive feedback from clients. Show clients demand for your product or why they want to see an MVP as soon as possible. Your understanding of how to create an MVP on time and on budget.
