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.
  1. Food Security
  2. Water Management and Sustainability
  3. Sustainable Energy
  4. Urban Planning
  5. Climate Change and Environment
  6. Information Technology and Telecom
  7. Innovative Governance and Reforms
  8. Sociology and Philosophy
  9. Medical and Health Sciences
  10. Others
I'm thinking of pitching the same ideas that were successful in the shark tank, dragons den, etc.

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.
