FEEDBACK: Hi Maxim, great underwater scenes! I was enthralled watching it, and as others mentioned I found it very successful at getting my attention. Your narrative was great and it made for a fun watch. I'm giving feedback with a heavy heart as I love your concept but the drawback for me with your elevator pitch was that it didn't discuss/outline the pain-point/problem to me as a VC which prompted your venture's conception, or how it critically addresses a need. I don't know what your ask is, the market or your future financial plans/goals. It felt more like a presentation for a consumer rather than than the investor role I've been asked to take. I only say this because if you caught me in the elevator and spoke the same content without the benefit of audio/visual support, I wouldn't know enough about your ventures critical aspects to carry on as an investor. As a consumer though, I'd absolutely love this and would certainly explore it in greater depth. It looks like a wonderful concept! I'm sorry to post a mixed review, as this could be a wonderful platform and the openness of it speaks to my own interests.

REVIEW: Hi Maxim. I think you have an interesting idea; your elevator pitch was very attention-getting and your venture pitch was informative, attractive and interesting. That being said, since your venture is more technology-based than education-based, I would probably focus on a freemium-to-premium model to not choke off initial growth, which I think would be necessary for the survival of your venture. RECOMMENDATION: I thought both of your pitches were engaging and well done, but I would probably look for a venture with more growth potential.

Feedback: Hi Maxim, This was a really neat idea and I really like how you've taken a passion of yours and turned it into a potential investment. I think I agree with many others that starting it out as a free paid with paid options would help increase the amount of subscriptions and potentially help build your data base. Either way I enjoyed the visuals of both your elevator and venture presentation. A couple of times on your prezi I needed to focus in more to read some of the information.

Feedback: That was very unique and interesting. The video you used really captured my attention from the beginning. I could see this being a niche market with many enthusiasts investing. I like that you reserve the right to claim a portion of the findings! I could see this working as a free app with paid features. I am wondering how big you think the market is for this app and how much investment you are looking for? I really thought it was well presented, I would use it in class! Great work.

FEEDBACK : Interesting venture idea! I like your images of the pitch and the detail of your platform. When I started watching your pitch, my children immediately gathered around. In order to decide whether if I will contribute to your funding, I would like to know the information on financial strategy and market analysis more.

This is an interesting idea. I would love to see it up and running, I imagine it would have bulletin board qualities along with googlemaps or google earth type pinpointing of locations. I know it is an imaginary product but I would have been sold on the idea if I could see a prototype. As it was, I was really excited about the product. Figure out who is paying for subscriptions and you've got a marketable idea.

Review: As I sit here and listen to the music from the prezi, I am feeling inspired and really was sold on the collaborative aspects of this pitch, as well as the leverage that is placed on social media and networking to spread the breadth of the project. The venture pitch was very appealing, the images just worked in terms of getting me to stay and learn more about what it was that you were selling here. In terms of the nuts and bolts of getting something like this up and running, I was curious to learn more in order to answer my questions about making a significant investment in a project that in a way, seems somewhat piecemeal (there are a lot of components to a project like this and in order to be successful, a cohesive plan must be in place). THANKS! It was very interesting!

FEEDBACK: I really enjoyed watching your venture pitch, it does a great job hooking you in to your venture. As a whole, I'm not entirely sure the idea would take off, but it is very intriguing.

Review: Nice work, thanks for using education technology to tackle history curriculum, I'm constantly looking for more interactive ways to teach the subject at it seems like there is a pretty big void in this part of the market. As a teacher I was definitely intrigued by your elevator pitch, it does a good job of explaining the function of your venture and the video works well to get the viewer in the mood for archaeology. As an investor, I would have like to have seen a little bit of information about the market and your investment goals just to get a quick snapshot of the kind of opportunity your venture might be to help me decide whether or not to view your main presentation. Even though I wasn't quite sure where to start, your venture pitch caught my attention and did a great job of leading me through the benefits of your product. The small section which shows how different people would utilize the program was especially effective at showing the wide range of potential users and how educators would benefit. When considering whether to invest in the venture, I kept feeling like I needed more information to make a decision. The pitch would benefit from having more information about the market, the competition, and your fundraising goals. Ultimately, I love the idea of connecting amateurs and professionals and sharing a crowd sourced database and your pitches do an excellent job of highlighting the potential power of your collaboration software. Great work.

Feedback: I like the idea. It is clearly described. It's a restricted market for advertisers though. Like you, I am a student of this whole venture business, but as an EVA I would quicker go for a freemium model where I offer free limited access and a premium version to professional archeologists. That way, everyone with an account can contribute to content, and professionals pay for functionality that only professionals would want to use.
