3 Your Role Become an extension of the entrepreneur and his/her idea. Work together to develop a powerful plan and pitch that will resonate with funders and that the entrepreneur can implement. Access point for outside perspectives – from this program; from your own network and experiences A first critical set of eyes for the idea/plan – making you a surrogate for funders Leading and following: – you are doing extensive research – you are guided by the program’s schedule – you have direct access to HUB mentors and faculty – but, you are working on and with the entrepreneur’s own ideas

4 Channeling Investor Questions What is the gap in the market? What are you actually producing/delivering? What steps are you taking to make this project executable? – where are you starting from (what are you bringing to the table) – have you identified your critical path – do you have the right people on board – how will you know if you are making progress What makes this project investable? – can you articulate the required investment – have you targeted the right kind of funder(s) – can you deliver the required rate of return Have you identified and addressed potential risks? Can you deliver a (matching) full plan and elevator pitch?
