XXX Why is the elevator pitch important? • Most good business ideas can be explained very simply • Can you identify these business ideas? – “We are going to put a PC in every home.” – “Fictional romantic tale of a rich girl and poor boy who meet on the ill-fated voyage of the 'unsinkable' ship.” – “We are going to sell books on the internet.” • If you can not explain your idea simply, you are going to have difficulty selling it WholeTree Ventures – where Idea meets Experience 4
XXX Impossible? • “ConstructionBoots.com, is an e-commerce website that sells construction boots, on a b2c and a b2b basis. Our primary market consists of construction workers, with secondary markets including other individuals and companies in the construction trade. ConstructionBoots.com offers the highest quality products and drives traffic to the site by linking to other websites related to the construction industry. We believe that the customer would find purchasing and direct delivery of construction boots easier through our website, rather than purchasing via traditional retail outlets. • We will require $5 million in two rounds of funding to reach break-even and the point where the company can support itself on our own revenues. We seek to raise $2 million in the first round of funding, with a first round valuation of $5 million. We have an industry insider CEO and will hire a CFO and Director of Marketing with our first investment round. • We believe we will be the only pure e-commerce construction site and will face indirect competition from traditional brick and mortar B2B retailers who target the trade as well as traditional mass merchandisers. If all goes as planned, we would look to sell ConstructionBoots.com to an industry retailer who sells construction gear” WholeTree Ventures – where Idea meets Experience Source: www.digitaldetroit.org 4
