Aspects of a Good Rocket Pitch
- Problem:
- Ventures exist to solve real problems. Share a problem or opportunity that matters, whether it's personal, based on feedback, or addressing a larger issue.
- Market:
- Identify an attractive market. Share market statistics, such as affected population, transaction volumes, and market trends. Highlight the potential for growth.
- Competitive Landscape:
- Acknowledge competitors and explain what their solutions lack. Showcase how addressing these gaps is not just beneficial for customers but also a unique opportunity for your venture.
- Solution:
- Build upon the foundation and reveal what you're creating. If there's progress, share the evolution and what's coming next. A clever name, though not mandatory, can add a touch of flair.
