In an investor presentation, once you have identified your founding team, the
0:06
customer or client need or want that you're addressing, how your business
0:11
addresses that customers need or want, and then the characteristics of the
0:16
customers in the market, that is your market segments, and who is your target
0:21
market, their size, the reason they want your product, all of these things. Once
0:26
Once you get to this point, the next question is how exactly is your business going to deliver
0:34
value and receive back value? What are the procedural mechanisms and everything that needs to be in place for the delivery
0:43
of value and in turn the receipt back of value? This seems obvious in many scenarios where you're simply selling something
0:51
I have a good that you want. I sell it to you
0:56
When we meet in person, you give me back money. The model in that case is very simple
1:03
It is physical good in exchange for cash at a specific time location
1:08
Now a change to that model might be something where I deliver my good to a third party and
1:15
then they take it out there and sell it and then they keep a percentage of it and give
1:19
it back to me. I'm actually either selling my product to a third party who then resells it or I'm in
1:27
some way consigning it with them until they sell it. That would be a change to the model
1:32
Now, not all models are obvious. I could give you numerous examples where businesses pursue business models that are not always
1:40
obvious as to how they are receiving back value. Take, for example, many social media or online sites
1:47
Facebook being perhaps one of the largest social media sites is a good example Their business model is to deliver value through providing an open free platform to users
2:02
where they can interconnect with others. What is the value that they receive back
2:07
Well, generally, it's information about its users. This information is valuable in that it can then use this information to operationalize
2:18
another part of its business, which is providing value to marketers, individuals who wish to
2:24
reach you. They will now purchase ad space within the platform in order to put their advertisements
2:32
before your eyes, so you become aware of their brand and their product offerings
2:37
Facebook is facilitating this, so this is a dual directional value proposition
2:42
They deliver value to users of the site. The users of the site deliver value by providing information about themselves
2:49
Facebook then provides that information or at least channels to that information to marketers
2:57
Marketers then pay money to Facebook and thus the money is ultimately the value that Facebook desires
3:04
So this once again is not obvious to many people because it's a more complicated business model
3:11
Many businesses are going to have different models in how they ultimately deliver value
3:18
and receive back value. You need to make certain that in your investor pitch and presentation, you line out in detail
3:27
all of the procedural steps and mechanisms by which value is going to be delivered and
3:32
to whom and how value is going to be delivered back so that ultimately the exchange of value
3:39
that is envisioned by the business is laid out fully and readily understood by the investors
