We get on a video call to understand your business and industry dynamics, the problems your clients have, how you solve them and how your competitors solve them. Here we try to understand your business in the way a potential investor would. This is actually a strategy consulting call, where we compel you to provide details, consider alternate perspectives and make you pitch why your business is fundable/ feasible. Based on this we suggest, and you decide what kind of a solution you require: a pitch deck, a model, a business plan or a combination.
This initial interaction usually lasts for 1-1.5 hours.
Once we understand your business and you have decided on the solution we provide a concise, point wise outline on the sections we are going to cover. We usually provide a 20-minute questionnaire where you fill in details of your business such as financials, traction and operational details. You can also provide us the details in a pre-made version such as Excel or PDF. This is an iterative process as we are trying to build a coherent story based on your feed backs and our market research. This is hard stuff, and we do most of the work here. We simply don’t stop till the outline is nailed.
This exercise usually takes 3-4 days and 5-6 calls.
Once the outline is complete, we work towards filling in the details. We provide a time range within which you can send additional details. We provide sketch versions in between so you are aware of the flow. Once finished we run you through slide by slide, section by section or tab by tab and wordsmith it till you're satisfied.
