TeachArch

Feedback: Although your venture idea is not something I have direct experience with, my teacher goggles are telling me you have a really great idea here! Your elevator pitch is really spot-on: you established your credibility, the problem, your solution and you didn’t forget “the ask”. It was visually appealing, as well. Perhaps the best part of your idea is that you have taken an emerging market idea (VR) and combined it with an existing technology, making a truly innovative and engaging product. Well done on this idea!!!! I would have like to have known a bit more about your competitors, since I do not have any prior knowledge in your industry: what do your competitors specifically lack that TeachArch provides? Overall, I think you have checked all the Venture Pitch boxes. I like how your site is simple and cleanly presented. On the other hand, I do not think that there is enough detail, for an investor to throw you the amount of coin you are looking for. For flow of your site, I would modify the navigation buttons at the bottom of each page that allow viewers to go in either direction (sometimes the cursor didn’t change to a link when hovered over the word). Your idea and your elevator pitch are incredibly strong. I think that your team is also strong—get some of those folks to put in the details on your pitch, perhaps, should you wish to move forward. Cheers!

Like the website and the concept, but I feel your elevator pitch was a bit too long. Much of what was shared in the video was then posted on the site. I feel a better approach would be to keep the pitch shorter, plant the seeds of interest, and then focus on the larger picture and specific details by having me move through the webpage. For navigation simplicity, perhaps a "next" button could be posted at the bottom of the pages to allow for better flow rather than having to return to the top of the page every time. Perhaps I missed it, but is there a specific type of investor you're looking for in this project as I'm not sure everyone would be aware of some of the more target-specific language you used. Thanks for sharing!

FEEDBACK... I really like this concept, Ebru. It is a simple (not so simple) combination of technologies that appears to address a legitimate pain point relevant to your industry. I felt you informed me of all of the areas (numbers, projections, suitable background, etc.) I would expect in an elevator pitch, but for the sake of brevity, a quick reference to the venture pitch may have sufficed for some areas. Your background and pain point explanation could have been shortened (or eliminated) in the elevator pitch, and expanded on in the venture pitch. You really hooked me when you began to describe TeachArch specifically. I am looking forward to reading your venture pitch. - Scott

Seems like a great product! The elevator pitch was focused a lot on the product, rather than on the investment. Seeing my investment returned in 2 years seems too good to be true, perhaps a little more information as to why you felt that was possible? Perhaps mentioning advanced talks with multiple universities, etc. Interesting, but I would love a few more numbers in the venture pitch.
