Comment on What I Learned From Creating My First Pitch Deck by Jesse Bouman

Hi Rene, a few thoughts on your question. First of all, Dress Rush highlighted their market and traction really well. That validates their model in itself. I highlighted my competitors early on because it validated my idea since I don’t have a product yet. Showing investors that money was already invested around the idea can make them more amenable to the idea. My guess is that Dress Rush did not highlight the barrier to entry because from the outside, it seems low. Not something YOU want to bring to their attention. I don’t think they did this, but a tactic some people do when pitching is to intentionally omit a glaring fact so that they’ll know one question the investors will ask. Bottom line, it depends on the story you’re telling and what will best portray your company to the investor.

I noticed in the Dress Rush deck there was no mention of competition or barrier to entry. How do you know when it’s appropriate to include that kind of information?

Sorry to hear your apartment hunting experience was so annoying! I recently found this site that might help you next time around. It’s from Rent Jungle and it’s an apartment search engine. It gives Google Street views, has tools like “compare your rent” and also lets you track market trends. Here’s the link if you want to check it out: http://www.rentjungle.com
