Section One

The basics.

Who you are, what you do, and where you do it. Keep your one-line description tight — if it doesn't fit on a business card, it's not finished.

Section Two

Problem & solution.

The heart of the pitch. Be specific about who hurts and how badly — vague problems attract vague money.

Section Three

The market.

Who you're for, and how large the opportunity actually is — not what you'd like it to be.

Section Four

Product & traction.

Show, don't tell. Specific evidence beats grand claims every time.

Section Five

Business model.

How money flows in, and how you'll find the people willing to send it.

Section Six

Team & the ask.

People back people. Tell them who you are, and what you need to win.

Section Seven

Ready to generate.
