Yesterday was the last class for the SLP London 2012 Fellows. They got to pitch to eight VCs/Angels and get valuable feedback. Key takeaways for me were:
1. Simple and clear articulation of the problem and the solution
2. Why you and your team are the right people to provide this solution
3. Have a clear understanding of the market opportunity, competitors and going to market strategy
These are important lessons for all new startups or those who are looking to start their own venture.
Tomorrow I am attending the launch of the National Generation Finance Consortium.
Date: Thursday, 8 March 2012 from 09:00 to 12:00 (GMT)
Location: Cass Business School, EC1Y 8TZ London
