Seven questions your pitch should answer

Tunguz lists the questions a venture investor might ask in a first meeting: the problem and why now, the team, the competitive angle, product validation and sales, customer acquisition and unit economics, the revenue model, and market size. He says answering them in a generic fundraising deck is a solid starting point, and that the points should be united with a single theme or story.
