I really liked the overall concept of your product, and thought both your elevator pitch and venture pitch had compelling aspects to them. I did feel though that the overall concept behind your product could be strengthened. I felt that your explanation for the potentials of your product and in particular the market that your product would inhabit was spread a little thin and as such exactly how or who was going to use your product was a little vague. I think that you did do a good job setting the global market for the product, but as other have pointed out I think you could have explained more how it fits in the local market. I don’t think it was a major problem, but the way your video was sized made viewing the pitches a little difficult. I thought the videos were both well done and did a very good job of presenting the features of your product, but think that the video should be reformatted to make it look more professional. Overall though I think that both you pitches were done well.

Hi Elisabeth, I thought that your venture pitch was presented in a very professional and clear manner. I really like all the visuals you included and specifically thought the visualizations of the product being used was particularly powerful. I also thought that your analysis of the market and potential competitors did a very good job of situating your product and its marketability. In general I believe that though there are similar products to yours in the market place, none of these products have become dominant in the market place, so there is still a lot of opportunity. Finally having such a strong team aligned with your product greatly strengthens its chance of success. Overall a very impressive and convincing presentation.

The concept behind your product is very strong and I think that there is a very large market for it. I also thought that your venture pitch was also strong, and thought you did a good job of using useful visuals without cluttering the screen. I agree with others that there were some interesting choices made in the shooting of both your pitches; but did not find them overly distracting. That being said it does affect the professionalism of your pitches.

Your venture pitch was designed beautifully and made it very easy to digest the information you were presenting. In general I felt that your venture pitch was very strong and did a good job at providing a clear financial structure and path for growth. I think that the pitch would be strengthened by explained why your product is an effective tool. Along these lines I think that you should have better situated your product better in the market. By this I mean that your pitch would be more convincing if you compared your product to similar products like edmodo. Overall though this was a very strong and convincing pitch.

I thought your venture pitch was very good. You clearly outlined the pain point, and your product does a very strong job at solving the problem. I also really liked your analysis of the competition and especially your explanation of how your software is different than what your competitors provide. I feel that your venture pitch, and your elevator pitch to a certain extent, would have benefited from having more visual examples of how the product works, especially since the product is already so well established. I also felt that your pitch would be stronger if you more completely outlined your current financial position. This would give investors a clearer idea on when your product can be expected to be profitable. Finally I would look at expanding your team to include someone with an educational background. The product is clearly a strong product, but by having a team member with an educational background may be able to strengthen the pedagogy behind the product.

Kari, I thought both your elevator pitch and your venture pitch were very well done. I particularly liked the way you used prezi and how you did more than simply reading the text you had on screen. This made the elevator pitch very comprehensive and after listening to it investors will have a very clear picture of what cloudle does and why they should invest in it. In your venture pitch I though you provided a very thorough analysis of the pain point and the market in general. I think justifying the price of the app and the future financials would have strengthened the venture pitch. I did not find your financial projections convincing with the information that you presented. Overall I thought that you have a great product and that you did a very good job illustrating why it will be successful in the market.

I thought your elevator pitch was excellent. You delivered a lot of information about your product and did an excellent job of establishing the pain point. Similarly I was really impressed with how smoothly the information was presented. Like the others I could not find your venture pitch, so it is difficult to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of the overall pitch.

Bassam, I thought both your elevator pitch and venture pitch were well put together. The graphics you included helped to support the spoken information and in general allowed for your ideas to come through very clearly. If I was an investor considering solohealth I would want to know a little bit more about what exactly the kiosks do. The financials you provide for solohealth make the product very attractive to invest in, and similarly I think you did a good job illustrating the pain point. With that being said, without explaining how your product addresses the pain point, it would be difficult to invest in solohealth or recommend it to investors. I also thought your pitch could have been strengthened by analyzing your competitors and explaining why your product will be competitive in the market. Overall though I thought your pitches were very well done.

I thought you did a very good job of presenting the pain point. After watching your elevator pitch it was very clear what your company was trying to do and why it was needed. I did feel that outlining the current competitors to your company would have strengthened your venture pitch. Along these lines I think that your pitch would also have been strengthened by going into more detail about what benefits your online training software offer compared to other online training software. Overall though, I thought that both your elevator and venture pitch were compelling and well put together.

I really liked the way you presented your venture pitch. The PowerPoint provided the affordances of a video presentation as well as those of a written pitch. I was able to click around and reread sections I wanted to give more thought. As Lindsay stated, I also really liked the way that you broke down where money was going to be spent. This indicated that you had a clear plan for the future and allows investors to clearly know where their money was going to be spent. I think the rationale for your pitch would have been stronger if you explained the benefits of having the therapy provided online. I think that some people might question why addicts should received therapy on a tool of their addiction. Even though I think it is a false equivalency, I could see individuals comparing it to alcoholics going to therapy in a bar. To preempt these questions, a simple explanation of the benefits of online therapy would strengthen the overall pitch.
