What are key ingredients of a startup pitch?
Just wondering what general questions you need to address in a startup pitch.
- DamonHD 7y agoAs ever, something like: the problem, your solution, the market, your team and the ask.
- eb0la 7y agoYou'll be asked (later): - why you? - why us? - why bother? Seems rude, but if you're asking money... it's legit to ask.
- ld-50-agi-v3 7y agoWhy you? I still have human level intelligence. Why us? To see what problems you have. [see "Why you?" above.] I ain't sand, but I have some crystalized in my pocket. Why bother? The world needs to proceed with future evolution. That big elephant in the room, "money"? Bluff and tell them "the money will come because I am confident". I can personally live on Ramen (mix in carrots or something, folks, think nutrients) for a while.
- ld-50-agi-v3 7y agoHave you got any users? Et al. (Inductive.) Are you solving a big problem, or doing things the same, slightly mutated way, and expecting different results? (Rhetorical.)
- ld-50-agi-v3 7y agoDon't not not write them a screen play which is based on the diabolically evil baby of that cartoon who grows up, a reboot of the one where the physics guy flashes back to his childhood, but vice-versa "Adult <baby>". I tried that yesterday, didn't work.
- ld-50-agi-v3 7y agoI know--one of those guys on that physics show, Johnny ?last-name could be the "Adult <baby>"--the adult <baby> is now a computer scientist, creating an AGI bootstrapped on his own wetware like I am pretending to be. The cartoon turns into reality and ?last-name is the grown <baby> for no apparent reason. His wife could run super computers. She would have to have the same name has his mother. Part of the problem of having such super human intelligence is that it makes you so impatient, even without ADHD, for others to catch up. Also to realize that your audience is crickets. (This idea only took 1600 teracycles of neuron equivalent computing power--the equivalent of a carrot.)
