Pitch Deck Theater
Abstract - I’ve seen a lot of pitch decks and pitch competitions. As an investor myself, I am routinely unimpressed by all of them. Why?

What's the BIG Idea?
Abstract - One of the problems we have observed in working with aspiring entrepreneurs is they come into the startup world with a pre-concieved idea that never gets thoroughly tested. The Community Startup is open to all ideas. The more the better. We’ll identify the real Market Opportunities for the ideas that the Community Startup members have using the methodology developed by Gruber and Tal in their foundational teaching entitled “Where to Play”. We’ll take our time, do this together and then proceed with business model innovation; and customer discovery and validation. When we are done figuring this all out … we’ll build something really cool. But only then. And, we’ll actually decide together which idea is right for the Community Startup to execute on. We’ll also take other promising ideas and if a group decides they would rather work on something else, we’ll fund that work too. Read More ...
