Many of Tamil startups aren’t going to get far without a pitch deck.
You are going to need two different versions of your pitch deck.
One is the version you will send out with all pertinent information, including everything you need to have people understand your story and where you are heading
The second version of the pitch deck will be used during presentations and contain illustrative graphics that will add to your presentation.
Three minutes, 44 seconds is the average time a venture capitalist spends looking at a pitch deck, according to TechCrunch A DocuSend and Harvard Business professor study shows that the average deck is 19 pages long.
For a presentation in venues beyond elevators, Guy Kawasaki recommends no more than 10 slides, not using anything smaller than a 30-point font, and keeping presentation time to 20 minutes.2 I’ve also heard of companies simply sending a couple of slides to firms like Union Square Ventures and getting funded. In terms of pages and categories, Sequoia Capital recommends including these 10 aspects:
1. Company purpose
2. Problem
3. Solution
4. Why now
5. Market size
6. Product
7. Team
8. Business model
9. Competition
10. Financials

When you get a call from VC Company
1 VC firms have different types of individuals working at the firm. Most junior people want to be analysts. These people are either MBA students in an internship or people that just graduated from school.
2 The most immediate position after the analyst is the associate. An associate could be either junior or senior
3 Over associates, you will be able to find principals. They are senior people who can make decisions when it comes to investments but they do not have full power in the execution of the overall strategy of the firm
4 The most senior people within a VC firm are above principals and are called partners. Partners could be general partners or managing partners.
5 Limited partners (LPs) provide capital for venture firms, similarly to the way VCs fund startups—they invest in companies in exchange for equity (or part ownership of the business) LPs include endowments, corporate pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, wealthy families, and funds of funds.
6 Another figure in a VC firm is the entrepreneur in residence (EIR). EIRs are mainly individuals that have a good relationship with the VC and perhaps have given the VC an exit, helping them earn cash

The 80/20 rule is one of the most helpful concepts of time and life management. It’s also called “Pareto Principle”, after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first wrote about it in 1895. He divided society into to parts, one called the “vital few”,the top 20%, and the other, the “trivial many”, the bottom 80%. This principle says that 20% of our activities will account for 80% of our results. This means that if you have a list of 10 things to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth five or ten times or more than the other eight items put together.
Number of Tasks versus Importance of Tasks
Focus on Activities, Not Accomplishments
Motivate Yourself
Make a list off all the key goals you want to achieve. Divide then into top 10 or 20% and bottom 80%.
Start doing the most important job first, here is the rule, “If you have to eat two frogs, eat the ugliest one first”. Also remember the second rule of frog eating: “If you have to eat a live frog at all, it doesn’t pay to sit and look at it for long time”. So prioritize your work and start taking action, don’t just sit and procrastinate.

Ben Horowitz is a co-founder and general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. He is the author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Hard Thing About Hard Things and What You Do Is Who You Are. He also created the a16z Cultural Leadership Fund to connect the greatest cultural leaders to the best new technology companies, and enable more young African Americans to enter the technology industry.
Prior to a16z, Ben was cofounder and CEO of Opsware (formerly Loudcloud), which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard for $1.6 billion in 2007, and was appointed vice president and general manager of Business Technology Optimization for Software at HP. Earlier, he was vice president and general manager of America Online’s E-commerce Platform division, where he oversaw development of the company’s flagship Shop@AOL service. Previously, Ben ran several product divisions at Netscape Communications. He also served as vice president of Netscape’s widely acclaimed Directory and Security product line. Before joining Netscape in July 1995, he held various senior product marketing positions at Lotus Development Corporation.
The hard thing isn’t setting a big, hairy, audacious goal. The hard thing is laying people off when you miss the big goal. The hard thing isn’t hiring great people. The hard thing is when those “great people” develop a sense of entitlement and start demanding unreasonable things. The hard thing isn’t setting up an organizational chart. The hard thing is getting people to communicate within the organization that you just designed. The hard thing isn’t dreaming big. The hard thing is waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when the dream turns into a nightmare.

What is Swiggy Business Modle
Can I do the same model in my locality?
Mom Test b By Rob Fitzpatrick will be a very useful read before testing a product
Research may fail on a just a survey basis
Unless until they give money the idea is not validated
How to convince the shop keeper
Customer us the king
If a mall has too much walking they will choose the high price for the Mall
Swiggy has 100 million customers, Sales would be easy
If the customer is on the platform then it is easy to attract shop keeper
Swiggy revenue model
R1: Delivery Fee charges commission
R2: Commission from each order
R3: Ad revenue
R4: Siwggy Super subscription revenue
Test your idea before your implement your product in real-time
Swiggy is venture-backed so they dint charge delivery at the starting, this is to introduce behaviorally change
On-demand service will be very complicated and tougher to do at a starting for a non-venture-backed company
Try offline marketing
Swiggy use TV ads online marketing
There are very smaller section of services in each locality
Don't do free delivery charges so that your basic delivery fees are covered
If you are generating Rs 40 out of each customer delivery then you start generating passive income
Consolidation of the shop is also another model, it is quite tricky and complicated for startups
D2 C model is also working if you can get wholesale connect
It needs an investment and inventory heavy model, but it will have a control
Giving Solution to shopkeeper can also be another model which can come up

How can you be part of it
Types of business frameworks , SaaS , micro SaaS business models How to start business without quitting job
What kind of tech business to do 1 e-commerce 2 servicing 3 SaaS organic growth 4 SaaS hyper growth
Tamil startups should target saas market
What is SaaS, why it’s one of the most valued of all startups,
SaaS is a method of software delivery that allows data to be accessed from any device with an internet connection and a web browser.
In this web-based model, software vendors host and maintain the servers, databases, and code that makes up an application.
How is it different from old traditional software on-premise service .micros SaaS, why it is gonna matter in years to come
The advantage with saas is the customer doesn't have to give a one-time large fee and its just a monthly fee
Micro-SaaS, as it can be understood from the word itself refers to a small SaaS. ... “A SaaS business targeting a niche market, run by one person or a very small team, with small costs, a narrow focus, a small but dedicated user base, and no outside funding.
Tyler Tringas is a General Partner at Earnest Capital which provides early-stage funding for bootstrappers.
So you want to start a SaaS company. And people keep asking you how big the market opportunity is and if your idea will scale.
But maybe you don't want to build a huge business. Maybe you just want to create a sustainable and profitable business that gives you more freedom.
In 2011, Tyler quit his job to start a venture-backed software startup called SolarList. He was a first-time founder and non-technical. So he also started learning how to code.
Getting his startup to take-off was slow going, so he started doing some freelance work. Several of his clients wanted a way to add store locator functionality to their websites.
So on a 30-hour flight from San Francisco to Buenos Aires, Tyler built a store locator SaaS app as a side-project. When he landed, he deployed the code and launched the product.
He emailed some of these clients and within 24 hours he had a handful of people paying him $5 a month. The product was terrible and had a lot of missing functionality, but it did the basic job.
A year later, SolarList still wasn't getting traction and had to be shut down. And Tyler was left with over $50,000 of credit card debt and uncertainty about his future.
He had to dig himself out of a financial hole. So he started doing more freelance work and putting more time into his StoreMapper side-project which was now doing around $1000 MRR.
By being able to spend more time on StoreMapper, Tyler was able to grow it over $5000 MRR in about 9 months. And eventually got it to over $40,000 MRR a few years later.
But he built it as a sustainable and profitable micro' SaaS company. It helped him to pay down his credit card debt, travel the world and spend more time on projects he found interesting.
