1 YOUR COMPANY NAME AND LOGO Your One Sentence Summary

2 Management Team Use this slide as a way of lightly introducing yourselves...not to go through your life history. You want to set the tone that makes us believe everything you say in the rest of the presentation. Include the title for each person and just a couple brief points Joe Smith, CEO 20 years in enterprise software sales in our target industry Started, sold 2 prior companies Award of note? Target industry recognition? Bob Davis, CTO 12 years in mobile platform coding with Fortune 500 company and 2 startups Previously worked with current outsource development company 2

3 Problem Statement Use no more than a 12-word sentence here that summarizes the problem in your targeted market. Provide a 6-8 word bullet point to emphasize the problem Add a point for emphasis about how the problem quantitatively affects your target customers. 3

4 Our Target Customer Base Provide a few 6-8 word bullets to refine/quantify your target market to a more narrowly defined segment. How do you define your segment(s) and how many participants are there in the segments How much do your targets spend in the segment every year Is the problem in your target market growing? By how much? As a final, single thought, mention related markets that may be reachable once you gain traction in this market. 4

5 Our Competition Here, you want to help the viewer understand what the customers in your target customer segments currently do. Don’t list competitors here Use a few 6-8 word bullet points to describe, GENERICALLY, how your customers solve the problem. Common solutions are things like: “Use a Manual Process”; “Use Large Complex Systems”; “Use Numerous Stand-Alone Solutions”; “Build Custom Solutions”, etc. Overall, you’re trying to explain WHY current solutions are inadequate, not WHY competitors are inadequate. 5

6 Our Competition (optional extra slide) Create a Gartner Quadrant Analysis or similar quadrant analysis that depicts where, along two axes of competitive attributes that your competitors use.Gartner Quadrant Analysis The point with the graphic is to identify spaces where you believe the competitors fall short and, therefore, where a new business would have an advantage in competing. 6

This slide can be either a graphical depiction or a high- level table as shown. Best to show by “stage” in the pipeline and quantified for revenue. Eg: 10 LeadsQualifiedDemoProposalAccepted Total #10060201812 Total $$3.0 Mil.$1.8 Mil.$600k$550k$480k 12 month revenue potential $1.2 Mil.$800k$480k$400k$320k
