how early-stage investors evaluate your startups investability

1. Team - the most important slide, especially at Pre Seed & Seed

(2) Traction & Proof Points

(3) Market - if you're raising from VCs, your SOM must be large enough for their desired ROI

(4) Proposition - does your solution and its business model make sense?

(5) Competition vs Defensibility - what's your USP?

(6) Financial Forecast - although it's just projections at the early stages, it must be reasonable and all numbers well-justified

(7) The Deal - how much are you raising? At what valuation

(8) Exit Strategy - is there a potential for strong exit?
