REVIEW: Very good presentation Dustin. Both your elevator pitch as well as your venture pitch had me extremely engaged. You present yourself very professionally and confidently in both and I think this would be one of those cases where I would choose to invest in the investor more than the investment idea. A few of the things I really appreciated about your presentation: (1) an excellent presentation about who you are and your expertise and knowledge of your market. (2) an understanding of what investors are looking for when evaluating whether or not to invest in a business. Looking at differentiation, market advantage, competitive space shows that you understand investment. (3) strong numbers to back up your decision to enter to market and valuation. Although due diligence is required to ensure that the figures add up, it seems as though this is very well thought out. I would invest in this enterprise knowing that you were on the team. Overall, really well done! I learned a lot from your presentation and really enjoyed it as well.
