Guidance

By now, you’ve shown that you have a killer solution to a painful problem. But how will you make money? Below are some of the key business model elements you should answer.

• Revenue streams:
  • Detail the different ways your company plans to make money. This may include product sales, subscriptions, advertising, licensing, or any other revenue-generating methods.
• Pricing strategy:
  • Explain your pricing model, such as freemium, tiered pricing, or one-time fees, and how it aligns with your target market's willingness to pay.
• Sales and distribution channels:
  • Describe how your company will reach customers and distribute your product or service. This may include online sales, retail partnerships, direct sales, or any other distribution methods.

Remember to keep the slide simple, concise, and easy to understand. Focus on the most important aspects of your business model and use clear language to communicate your plan effectively.

As much as possible, emphasize your current business model. It can add unnecessary confusion if you spend too much time talking about future revenue streams.
