- Description of the product or service
- Brief history/overview of the company

- Current market traction and other relevant validation metrics (e.g. revenue, customers, user metrics, etc.)

The materials you send us should be a working document for the company, used in long-term planning, and not simply a sales tool for fund-raising. Materials should be in PPT or Word doc/PDF format.
Note: We do not sign NDAs. We receive so many plans each week that if we were to sign every NDA request, we would quickly be swamped with legal documents. Our reputation depends on our professionalism and our ability to maintain the trust of the entrepreneurs with whom we work. We will take care to keep your materials confidential.
