Part 2/2

So what if you don't yet have a live product? Beyond taking steps to validate assumptions around market opportunity, costs, and your competitive differentiation, there are a couple impactful things you can do to increase investment appeal.

First - create compelling and polished UI/UX designs showcasing what your product experience will be like. I don't just mean an app framework, but visually appealing mockups that bring your product vision to life.

Second - building a working prototype can generate tremendous investor excitement and belief in your capabilities, even pre-product. For hardware/robotics founders especially, being able to showcase your innovation in action is tremendously powerful. One of the biggest missed opportunities I witnessed was founders not demonstrating functioning prototypes on stage.

These two elements signal founder commitment more than anything - if you've invested precious time designing and actually building something out, it shows investors you are "all in" and serious about bringing this product to market.

Lastly, crisp storytelling is critical but was lacking from many startup pitches. Simply showcasing facts and figures doesn't create lasting emotional impact. The best founders clearly articulated their target users' pain points and positioned their solution as the hero to the rescue - like straight out of a Marvel movie. Keep that in mind the next time you pitch.

My other key learning - while counterintuitive, most investors care more about their own ability to profit and exit quickly. So presenting a clear and compelling exit plan for the investors - detailing what return they could expect in say, 1-3 years, if they invested today - is a sales pitch that could help seal the deal. Rather than vague promises of big exits someday, investors want to quantify their own potential returns in the near future if they made the bet today. Mapping out an exit timeline centered around their profits can be hugely effective.

Wishing all founders the best wherever you are - progress starts with the first step so keep chasing those big dreams!

Part 1/2:

It's been about a month since the https://www.itecsea.com/top-50-semi-finalists/ competition results were announced. As promised, I wanted to share some of my key learnings and takeaways from watching the top entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia pitch their innovative ideas.

Even though my team and I didn't crack the top 20, we were thrilled to make the top 50, especially since we didn't even have a working product yet! All we had was a concept, a dream, and a vision for how we could make a difference with www.peakposts.com

As I watched the top teams present, a few things stood out that I believe contributed to their success and ability to secure substantial funding commitments from the investors.

First, they had a very solid understanding of their target customer and the specific pain points they were trying to address. They didn't treat all customers as equal, but had laser focus on the specific segment they were building their solution for.

Additionally, they had clearly validated that their potential customers would not only be interested in their solution, but be willing to pay for it. They had proof that their solution filled a need the market had.

Besides customer validation, the top teams also had impressive traction and metrics to back up their lofty projections. Having won grants, competitions, and if you are from B2B showing a slide full of brands who are you customers would certainly instill confidence.

Follow for part 2.

Earlier this month, my partners and I launched a SaaS startup called www.peakposts.com as we are seeing a lot of opportunity in the AI space!

Peakposts allows you to generate social media posts with AI and schedule them across your social media channels, all in one place.

AI and content on social media have been supercharged since the launch of ChatGPT and I foresee that it will only continue to grow each year hence the "why" we build startups.

But managing social media has always been a challenge especially when you do not have a team managing it for you. Here's to hoping this tool can help businesses and influencers manage their social media like a breeze.

Being present and relevant is sooooo important right now by social media standards. I know because I helped my clients grow their social media accounts, but I never did content for my own because being consistent has always been an issue for me. Does it sound more like I built the startup to solve my own problems?

Anyway, you will be seeing more of my journey here. I will also be giving away lots of valuable content about entrepreneurship and digital marketing.

Special thanks to Metro Dot Art for providing the space and thank you to those who came to the event and shared some of your ideas with us.
