By including a well-researched market size slide in your pitch deck\, you’ll demonstrate your deep understanding of market\, customer segments\, and priorities. Hear from Amy Cuneo about how to use market research to determine market size and how best to present market opportunity to investors. \nThe “team” slide demonstrates the composition of you founding team\, showcasing key members\, relevant experience\, and expertise. It strengthens your pitch and convinces investors that you have the right people with the necessary skills and background to execute the business plan and achieve success. Investors don’t just invest in ideas; they invest in people. They want to see strong founder-market fit\, experience in the space\, and dedication to learning and executing. Maisha Cobb will address what investors are looking for when evaluating a founding team and how to present in a pitch deck. \nWhat to expect: \nIn this session you’ll learn how to: \n\nDefine your ideal customer profile\nBreak down the broader market into relevant segments\nCalculate TAM\, SAM\, SOM\nUse the team slide to build credibility
