What We Do

Content: One or two sentences on what you do, whom you do it for and the key benefit.

Dumb it down, keep it simple. Goal is just to orient investors to the category you are in.

Voice track: Perhaps embellish with a factoid or two.

Examples:

"#1 web- and mobile-based restaurant guide in India"

"The largest online marketplace for B2B trading of electricity in India"

"BillmeLater for bill payments"

"The leader in cloud spend management software, enabling organizations to spend

smarter and save money"

Investment Highlights

Content: List 3-5 reasons that investors should invest. Be specific, not generic. Don't

say things like " Most experienced team" or "Large market" - these are too generic.

Voice track: Hit the main points, don't read every single thing on the page

Examples:

"Team has 40 years of collective experience in ecommerce and payments, with

successful stints at Buy.com, Paypal and Flipkart"

"Product is 3 months into beta testing, has 5000 active users and is trending to

40% month-on-month retention."

"Distribution pipeline developing well - have signed #2 bank in India with 56M

customers and two other banks in negotiations"

"MAUs growing at 30% per month for last 6 months, now @ 150k MAUs, targeting

2M by March 2013"
