This video will show you exactly how to create a competition slide that wows VC’s and institutional investors.Here’s what you’ll learn during the next five minutes:

First, Dreamit Managing Partner Steve Barsh will spell out the initial mistake most entrepreneurs make with their competition slide: not actually knowing who the competition is.

If you haven’t done an exhaustive search of your competitors, the VC’s you meet with will do a quick Google search to find competitors you haven’t mentioned and call you out on it.

Lesson: Do an in-depth search for your competition instead of avoiding who your potential competitors are.

Next, you’ll learn why using a “Magic Quadrant” is the wrong way to format your competition slide. You’ll also see how a Magic Quadrant might cause investors to question if your business is actually differentiated from your competitors.

Instead of using a Magic Quadrant, you’ll find out you should show your competition in a table and grid format. Why? Because a grid will allow you to differentiate your product and business over your top three to four competitors across five to ten key benefits.

At this point in the video, Steve will show you how to format your competition table so you can clearly highlight the ways in which your company is different from its competitors.

Finally, Steve suggests you shouldn’t just show how your product wins out over the competition. Consider including how your company beats the competition in other areas like distribution strategy, pricing, business model, operations, etc. Many investors will want to know the other things that make you different from your competitors.
