10. The Solution
 Describe your business, be concise.

Everyone has competitor, so ask yourself, again, “why do
my customers work with me?”

crafted your marketing plan to address those key
problems.

investor pitch deck!
 For those not seeking investment funding, this
slide can be used as an exercise to establish
projections for revenue and expenses; key to
pricing your product/services.

understanding of the business model and financial projections for ~ 5
years out. Revenue and expense analysis, capital investments, more.
Be prepared for questions.
