• How detail oriented is the team?
• How big is this market?
• Is there sustainable competitive advantage?
• What’s the growth plan?
• What does the technology roadmap look like, short
term or long term play
Financial Projections
• Build 5 years
• Detail near years, extrapolate out years
• Build from single unit economics
• Document assumptions
• Compare against top down
• Validate with market comparables
10 Must Answer Questions
• How large is your addressable market?
• How fast is the market growing?
• Who’s make up your management team?
• What’s your “secret sauce?”
• What are the barriers to entry/competitive advantage?
• What do your 5 year financials look like?
• What’s your path to profitability?
• Why is this a company versus a product/service?
• Who’s your competition and how do you beat them?
• Why can’t Microsoft or Google do this? (or name any big, established
company…)
Creating Your Company’s Strategy
• Building a strategy is harder work than building your
product
• Think about
– What do you want your business to be when it grows up
– Looking back from 5 years in future
– Perspectives of all stakeholders
– Anything that could go wrong
• Hope is not a strategy
Competitive Analysis
• You always have competitors
• Dig deep, be detailed, be honest
• Compare features and benefits
• Technology comparison
• Whole product offering (pricing, support, etc.)
• Channels, funding, customers…
Sustainable Competitive Advantage
• Create barriers to entry
• Continually add value for your customers (and your
investors)
• Anticipate competition and make plans for dealing with it
– Better widget, price erosion, market share, different business
model…..
• Avoid the trap of believing that your main competitor is
your exit strategy
