Q4. “How Will You Stay Better?”
• Intellectual Property Status and Strategy– Fear: Anyone can do this.– Greed: They can protect their advantage!
• Do– Know your claims (if using patents)– Describe other barriers to entry
• Don’t– Forget to mention your IP strategy– Imply that others have rights to the innovation

Financials: Your Five Year Projections
• CTO Guidelines– Thorough and thoughtful– P&L, Income Statement, Balance Sheet– Deal– Use of proceeds– Provide high level 5 year projections– Revenues and expenses by major categories– Pretax profit (loss), cash flow, capital requirements– Head count– Highlight milestone targets– First revenues– Cash-flow positive– Tangible competitive barriers (customers, IP, etc.)– $100M/yr run rate in year 5 is cliché, but expected

Q9. “What will you do?” andQ10: “How much will it cost?”
• Fear & Greed– Don’t they have a clear path to an exit?– They know what it will take to build a company and to exit!
• Do– Describe your focused plan for development through liquidity– Make Your Ask!
• Don’t– Focus on technology development alone– Add milestones unless they add value
