Answered Jan 15
Thanks for the A2A. Two main categories of issues: content thin spots and pitching mistakes. Here’s what I mean:
Avoiding The 9 Worst Pitching Thin Spots
Assuming you have mastered the mechanics, flow, and choreography of your pitch, and you have a business that is fundable, and you know how to deliver the pitch and get through the filters investors apply, what is left to go wrong? Failing to go deep enough into certain essential areas. Shallow skimming in these difficult areas is so common some of the summary expressions entrepreneurs use have become cliches. There's no reason to fall into that trap; we know nobody wants to dive into a shallow pool. So let's go through these all-too-frequently short-changed items one at a time.
Explaining Your Market Moment
To be credible, your pitch must answer the “why you, why now?” questions which provide context for the business. What has changed in the universe that makes this business suddenly not only possible, but a great idea? Why are you the gal or guy to do it?
Detailing Your Go-To-Market
You have to be specific about how you are going to crack your market. Selling is really hard, especially to certain types of customers. You are going to need to convince people that you have a very specific and detailed plan or business model innovation that is going to allow you to acquire your intended customers affordably (relative to their lifetime value).
Assuming Fast Consumer Behavior Change
Making assumptions about how your customers' behavior is magically going to change has been referred to as "delusional economics." After the few early adopters, mainstream customers have incredible inertia. The power of the status quo can be immense. The arrival of the internet/wireless/mobile is not going to suspend the laws of physics and gravity in your industry. It is not safe to assume that if you build a more efficient clearinghouse / marketplace / trading platform / matching service, everyone’s behavior will instantly and automatically change. Convincing customers to buy from you is going to be hard and expensive. You need to explain what secret sauce makes it less hard.
Paying Insufficient Attention to Buying Priorities
Certainly someone will want your product. Unfortunately, your immediate addressable market is limited to the people for whom buying your product is a top priority. How many of them are there? Although a lot of businesses identify a real, legitimate problem for customers, they still fail because other higher priority problems gobble up customer wallet share.
Omitting Marketing Skills
When talking about your go-to-market, you either need to convince investors that you have the marketing experience on the team, OR that you know you don't and you plan to go get it. Everyone thinks they know how to market. Most don't. Identify the marketers who can help you.
Building a Realistic Model
Most entrepreneurs totally underestimate what it will cost to achieve success. Investors have seen and experienced many business models and know it is always harder, takes longer and costs more than anticipated. It is crucial to really think through the necessary people, time and financial resources required, and to come prepared with a realistic plan. Use both a bottom-up and a top-down approach. Then sanity check it against benchmarks. Underestimating costs and showing an improbably fast time to big revenue and profitability doesn't impress people with your model – it impresses them with your naivete.
Assuming It Will Translate
Even if you can paint a credible case for your initial target market, don't assume that the next vertical, next geography or next customer segment will be as easy. Logic dictates that you are starting in the easiest place. By definition, any expansion will be harder and farther out of your comfort zone and experience base. Be realistic about your expansion assumptions. Yes, your brand and momentum will help a little, but no where near as much as you think. (See: Build a Realistic Model).
Engineering a Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Even if you can fight to win a segment, if you cannot make any money at it over the long-haul, you've still lost. Too many entrepreneurs talk as if their market is standing still, when, in fact, any market worth tackling will always be evolving and growing more competitive. It is critical to talk about how you will defend your position, your pricing, and your margins against the inevitable competitive reactions. It might be intellectual property, it might be some kind of tolerable customer lock-in or switching cost, it might be a product roadmap that keeps your value prop more compelling over time. Whatever it is, you need to explain it, and the explanation needs to be believable.
Failing to Think Exit Scenarios Through
Most entrepreneurs don't think through their exit strategy adequately. If you succeed, who buys you? Ultimately this is the bottom-line for investors. Equity from investors is like a loan that the buyer of your company pays back. You need to talk in detail about the different classes of buyers, why they would buy you, what they would value you for, what kinds of multiples they might be expected to pay, and what milestones you need to hit to command those prices.
It is not easy to step back and look at your story objectively enough to spot where it is thin. But there are a few critical big picture elements that you cannot afford to blow past. Covering the above topics adequately is going to be the key to convincing investors that your company and team is one that just might reach exit velocity and escape rather than fall back out of orbit and burn up on the way down.
25 Mistakes To Avoid When Pitching Investors
You finally have your chance to pitch some investors. Your business concept may be solid. But are you aware that there are at least 25 otherways you might shoot yourself in the foot? Avoid them all with this checklist, segmented into three sections from easiest to hardest.
Managing Your Audience
There is some basic legwork required before you show up to pitch. It is not hard, it is just work to complete before you walk into the room:
Make sure you have a copy of the presentation guidelines, preferences and investor customs of the group you are pitching. Make sure to respect and follow them.
Do some research and networking to make sure there is at least one, if not several, fans or "champions" in the room. Champions can lend you their credibility and bail you out during the post-pitch discussions.
Review the preferences and portfolios of the investors--target your pitch accordingly. If there is no fit at all, spare yourself the bother.
Don't ask investors to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)--investors don't sign NDAs and they are not interested in stealing your great business idea. For truly sensitive patentable information, file a provisional patent application before raising money.
Managing Your Material
Unsuspecting entrepreneurs often make rookie mistakes with their material. Preparation and polish is all that is required.
Never stand up to pitch an investor if you cannot crisply explain what your company does in less than 25 words and state your value proposition in less than 50 (Here are some tips on packing that value prop into a moving elevator pitch).
Build a tight, clean deck -- don't use more than a handful or words on any one slide, don't use small font sizes, forget to label your axes, or use huge tables of numbers.
Avoid elaborate slide builds or animations that make it impossible to go backwards or ad-lib. Plus, complicated slideshow features can be buggy and introduce embarrassing glitches that throw you off balance.
Don't jump right into the middle--set some ground work to engage your listener with your story.
Do not rely on a complicated demo or video as part of your pitch--a simple demo or screenshot is all you have time for.
If you don't know the answer to a question, don't guess, unless you say you are guessing, and you explain the basis for your guess.
Don't over-promise or make super-human claims. Focus on what you are pretty sure you can do, not what you think you maybe you can do. Investors can smell B.S. a mile away.
Don't bring a massive, overly long slide deck--boil it down like maple syrup, to the 10-15 key slides and throw the rest into an appendix.
Don't present numbers that you have not sanity-checked with both a bottoms-up and a top-down analysis. Benchmarks are your friend--use them. Hate to break it to you, but you are unlikely to have revenue of $10M per employee.
Avoid presenting numbers you cannot account for or explain how you arrived at. Even if you are not the numbers person on your team, you need to understand them all.
Managing Yourself
Often the person doing the pitch is her own worst enemy. Even if your deck is great, and the underlying story is compelling, it is easy to mess up the delivery.
Even if you are worried about time, don't nervously rush through your early slides. It is essential to build your story on a foundation and let people acclimate to you and your idea. If you lose them early on, you will never get them back.
Don't go in unpracticed, relying on notes or index cards, or simply reading your slides. Failing to practice is not a perception you want to create.
Don't run over your allotted time (nor should you mess up your team choreography).
Listen carefully to the full question, and answer what is actually being asked. Repeat it if necessary to ensure you got it right.
A sense of humor is great, but avoid being flip, cocky or glib in your presentation. Sorry, but these people don't know you well enough to get your sense of humor.
Never preface an answer with the reminder that "you are not a business person."
Don't mumble, whisper or equivocate; it is essential to project your voice powerfully and to be strong and confident (practice until you at least appear strong and confident).
Body language matters: smile and show some passion for what you are doing.
In particular, don't forget to smile while a question is being asked and consider adopting the habit of saying "that's a good question" on the tough ones.
Don't be offended or take a persistent line of questions personally. It is your fault if they don't understand what you are trying to say.
Don't rebut or argue with questions. The point is not to prove them wrong, it is to educate them on your opportunity. You win by educating them to your view.
Pitching is hard to master. It requires some practice. But if you take the time to do some prep work by mastering the list above, you can avoid including basic mistakes into the mix.

* How do you know if your tech startup idea is good or not?
IF AND ONLY IF you deliver the right amount of VALUE that your customers want enough to be willing to open their wallets and give you money in exchange of your delivered VALUE!
Don’t analyze only the idea of your product or market. Focus on the overall VALUE that the product or service delivers!
Execution is the second obstacle to tackle in your journey to achieve success!

IF AND ONLY IF you deliver the right amount of VALUE that your customers want enough to be willing to open their wallets and give you money in exchange of your delivered VALUE!
Don’t analyze only the idea of your product or market. Focus on the overall VALUE that the product or service delivers!
Execution is the second obstacle to tackle in your journey to achieve success!
Consumers do not buy what you sell. They buy what has value to them.

Timing
Ojo, en todo esto las variaciones pueden ser inmensas: no es lo mismo un equipo que otro, un track record que otro, unos años que otros y un desarrollo de la empresa que otro. Hablo de estándares para el común de los mortales.
Si una startup tiene activos mucho más poderosos, habrá que pagarlos.

* Should we distribute our product first, or should we advertise first? - Quora | https://www.quora.com/Should-we-distribute-our-product-first-or-should-we-advertise-first
You need strategy! STOP and THINK how you can make people WANT your product!
To answer that very complex question you need to get out of your office, knock on doors and talk to potential customers!
Show them your product, ask for their most honest opinion. Ask the right questions, even if you don’t like them!
Most importantly LISTEN TO THEM!
With their feedback, go back to work to give them what they want.
Repeat this process over and over again until they beg for your product!
FEEDBACK
* What is business strategy?
Strategy is identifying your competitive advantage and focusing all your energy and resources on one, or a very few, pivotal objectives which will lead to a cascade of positive outcomes.
Bus Plan -> Lo que hay que conseguir es que el cliente haga ... ---> PLAN

* Best Startup Ideas?
The best startup ideas are those that serve one or more of the basic human needs. Some of the basic human needs are:
A.The need for certainty: gain pleasure and avoid pain
Best ideas come from personal frustration
Solve a hard problem -> Which pain? Which need we feel?
B.The need for significance: feel unique and special
C.The need for growth: expand knowledge and skills
* Make intangible tangible (help visualize)
When selling an intangible product, do the same. Help the customer to visualise the benefit by creating an imagery for him
The best way to sell something intangible is to make it tangible. Help the person to visualise, help the person to feel.
If your message is that you do something that is already expected, just better, well… that’s not going to generate much market buzz. Maybe you should consider other differentiators?
* Address it soon with a precise solutiom
First tip is - be precise and get to the point as quickly as you can. You need to show the benefits of your product or service, not just key selling points, You need to refer the features of the product with the peculiarities of their business, You need to show the precise benefits and represent solution, So, be prepared and find out the details of their buisness situation.

1.6 Phase Guided Meditation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaRu14P9H84
Some of the things mentioned in the book that are covered by the six phases of meditation are:
The power of gratitude
Forgiveness
Live in blessing
Create self-love
Discover your quest
2.Envision your life
3 Most Important Questions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8eU5Pc-y0g
Goal setting is an absurd practice that I gave up long ago.
It simply is too dangerous when done without the right training.
In short, we get obsessed with the 'means', rather than the 'end'.
Ther aretwo types of goals: means goals and end goals.
Means goals are ones that usually come from culturescape and are not really connected with our deep desire.
A good example of a means goal is: I will finish studying so I can become an entrepreneur.
End goals - the correct mission statement should include the vision of your perfect life and what you want to experience.
PART 1: Set Self‐Fueled Goals
Set self fuel goals to reliable generate hapines so you can set to persued large goals with nothing to loose
Base expirient within your control, your power, no one can take them away from you! --->
How long it takes to fill each everyday?
1.To feel loved, I can: ___________________________________ (Smiling people talking to me - simplejo)
2.To feel a sense of growth, I can: _____________________ (Feel up my Diary Routing)
3.To have an amazing experience, I just need to: ______ (Feel Free - Freedom)
PART 2: Ask Three Important Questions
Expiriences you want -> How you need to grow to have dos expirences + how you will contribute to the world as a result
You will be happy + fulfill -> its all about experiencing live!
1.If time and money were no object, and I didn't have to seek anyone’s permission, what experiences would I want to have?
See the environment you want to live in, the adventures you want to have, and the things you want to experience with your friends and family.
2.How will I need to grow to have those experiences?
See yourself growing physically, intellectually, and spiritually to become your best self. See the skills you need to develop to have the experiences you desire.
3.As a result of growing, how will I be able to give back to the world?
See yourself having an impact on your family, your company, and your community. See the ways you are able to share your creative self with the world.
1.EXPIRIENCE
travel with the family with no worries (money,safety)
create my own succesfull companies
help other create their companies fulfill their dreams
big wedding/party with everyone
fligh - caida libre
be remeber as something especial by many but without being famous
disapear (be alone and free, do nothing)
2.GROW
Schedule better my time
Be super organise
Get the skills of a leader - confident, convincing, apealing, trusfull, empathetic, solve situations, dialogante, clever
Be healthy and fit - able to play football 73kg 10%fat
Meet interesting and powerful people
3.CONTRIBUTION
Improve football to the next level
Make my players/people around me: question things, educated, self thinking, good with others, fighters, justos
Make people happier
Make people wanting to do things for others voluntarily
3.Be happy now, not later
Books
http://www.gethabitcoach.com/books/happiness-advantage/
http://www.gethabitcoach.com/books/the-code-of-the-extraordinary-mind/
Our brains are literally hardwired to perform at their best not when they are negative or even neutral, but when they are positive.
I strongly believe that if you truly want to change the world and contribute to humanity, you should start with your happiness.
--- B ---
Key takeaways are:
1) don't live by society's rules, decide what is appropriate for you, university, a particular career path may not be right for you
2) overcome limiting beliefs, believe in yourself
3) trust your intuition - be guided in which customers to call
4) visualise success
5) exercise
6) meditate
7) have a quest/mission in life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaRu14P9H84
Some of the things mentioned in the book that are covered by the six phases of meditation are:
The power of gratitude
Forgiveness
Live in blessing
Create self-love
Discover your quest
2.Envision your life
3 Most Important Questions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8eU5Pc-y0g
Goal setting is an absurd practice that I gave up long ago.
It simply is too dangerous when done without the right training.
In short, we get obsessed with the 'means', rather than the 'end'.
Ther aretwo types of goals: means goals and end goals.
Means goals are ones that usually come from culturescape and are not really connected with our deep desire.
A good example of a means goal is: I will finish studying so I can become an entrepreneur.
End goals - the correct mission statement should include the vision of your perfect life and what you want to experience.
PART 1: Set Self‐Fueled Goals
Set self fuel goals to reliable generate hapines so you can set to persued large goals with nothing to loose
Base expirient within your control, your power, no one can take them away from you! --->
How long it takes to fill each everyday?
1.To feel loved, I can: ___________________________________ (Smiling people talking to me - simplejo)
2.To feel a sense of growth, I can: _____________________ (Feel up my Diary Routing)
3.To have an amazing experience, I just need to: ______ (Feel Free - Freedom)
PART 2: Ask Three Important Questions
Expiriences you want -> How you need to grow to have dos expirences + how you will contribute to the world as a result
You will be happy + fulfill -> its all about experiencing live!
1.If time and money were no object, and I didn't have to seek anyone’s permission, what experiences would I want to have?
See the environment you want to live in, the adventures you want to have, and the things you want to experience with your friends and family.
2.How will I need to grow to have those experiences?
See yourself growing physically, intellectually, and spiritually to become your best self. See the skills you need to develop to have the experiences you desire.
3.As a result of growing, how will I be able to give back to the world?
See yourself having an impact on your family, your company, and your community. See the ways you are able to share your creative self with the world.
1.EXPIRIENCE
travel with the family with no worries (money,safety)
create my own succesfull companies
help other create their companies fulfill their dreams
big wedding/party with everyone
fligh - caida libre
be remeber as something especial by many but without being famous
disapear (be alone and free, do nothing)
2.GROW
Schedule better my time
Be super organise
Get the skills of a leader - confident, convincing, apealing, trusfull, empathetic, solve situations, dialogante, clever
Be healthy and fit - able to play football 73kg 10%fat
Meet interesting and powerful people
3.CONTRIBUTION
Improve football to the next level
Make my players/people around me: question things, educated, self thinking, good with others, fighters, justos
Make people happier
Make people wanting to do things for others voluntarily
3.Be happy now, not later

Our brains are literally hardwired to perform at their best not when they are negative or even neutral, but when they are positive.
I strongly believe that if you truly want to change the world and contribute to humanity, you should start with your happiness.
--- B ---
Key takeaways are:
1) don't live by society's rules, decide what is appropriate for you, university, a particular career path may not be right for you
2) overcome limiting beliefs, believe in yourself
3) trust your intuition - be guided in which customers to call
4) visualise success
5) exercise
6) meditate
7) have a quest/mission in life
