Execution is king. Everyone agrees. Pick an idea you like and go. But it's a different story when you're pitching your idea to others.
I will be pitching to guys from the government (or investors) on my idea. I need feedback on how I can deliver a successful pitch. I've written a pitch deck before so I know a little bit about how it goes but I would be needing facts to get the seed funding, not a story.
Now I'm guessing the investors or the guys who would be hearing the pitch are going to be old school and I'm going to list out the industries mentioned in the brochure.
I'm thinking of pitching the same ideas that were successful in the shark tank, dragons den, etc.
- Food Security
- Water Management and Sustainability
- Sustainable Energy
- Urban Planning
- Climate Change and Environment
- Information Technology and Telecom
- Innovative Governance and Reforms
- Sociology and Philosophy
- Medical and Health Sciences
- Others
The seed funding is 2 million PKR (Which is around $10k) and this would be a good starting point for creating systems and setting up processes.
All I can think of now is how I can pitch and mix the CENTS + Productocracy in my pitch with whatever idea I present.
I have the ideas in my little PPC advertising bubble, not sure if they would want to invest in something they don't understand.
Here's what I'm thinking.
An E-learning platform or software (Reducing the E part of CENTS for a particular industry. Basically a CENTS business that lowers Entry for another industry)
A software/ERP (Improving the C part of CENTS for a particular industry. Okay, it might not be reducing control but it certainly would give business intelligence + insights)
Anything that improves any part of CENTS for a B2B industry is worth presenting in my mind. The problem is which one I choose.
P.S. It's all happening in Pakistan.
Start at the beginning. What is the problem you are trying to solve?
You're sitting here trying to figure out systems and frameworks. But what is the problem you are trying to solve?
That's what you need to pitch them. That you are going to solve a problem. You need to give them confidence that if they give you this free money, you will use it to solve a problem.
And based on their 10 points, it seems like it needs to be a pretty big problem.
Tell the story of what the problem is, how many people are affected by it, what you would do to solve it, and how your idea will generate future revenue so that you can continue to solve it.
Make it sound like if they give you this money, they'll never need to give you more money again. And you will magically change a country.
Except it's not magical. Be as precise as you can about the steps you will take to make the changes.
