Last Week

It's the last week of class before our final pitch and my team has been focusing on refining our pitch deck. We've been getting some conflicting feedback from our mentors in terms of our deck/financials/patent knowledge so this week we'll be trying to reach a middle ground. We took in feedback about increasing our ask price to around $3M (instead of $100k) based on our numbers, and I've specifically been working on the P&L statement. As a team, we need to work on our actual pitch- in terms of what we'll be saying during the presentation- and make sure we know the deck like the back of our hand. Our deck can be found here, we're still working on it but feel free to leave comments about it on this post :)

In terms of the journey of this class as a whole, I've definitely had some high and low points. I had prior knowledge of entrepreneurship and VC/startups so a lot of the information we learned about was repetitive, except for the lessons on patents in particular. I recognize it can be hard to form a company in a non-organic way with a time constraint, but I was happy I got a chance to look at startups/VC from a new perspective by focusing on the technology. I enjoy working with my group and the class as a whole, so it was a worthwhile experience for me.
