Final demoday

The final have come! There has been some hectic last days to finish the final pitch for tomorrow. A business pitch was harder to build than I thought. I have been working on it for a while but finally I have a set script and a pitchdeck that I can be proud of. The journey of DeDecco is on it’s way to begin and among other things thanks to the accelerator THINK.

Reaching out to investors

The whole idea with the accelerator program is to prepare the startups to pitch in front of investors. Of course has it been a lot of different workshop and mentorship going on but the final product is the pitch. It has been a very interesting journey with lots of good in pack from many different people and references. Almost to much advice. Being concrete with the content and choosing the right words to get the five minutes interesting for the audience has been a bigger challenge than I thought. Thinking of what to say to have more credibility and trust on stage is crucial.

The journey begins

The business DeDecco that I will present tomorrow has just started is biggest journey and there will be exciting to get the feedback from investors tomorrow. I have learned that it takes lots of validation to come to the point where DeDecco is right now. Listening to the customers, what are there thoughts about the business? How can we validate the business model even more to be profitable both for the customer, interior designer and us? The investigation part never ends and its necessary to keep doing that to reach the goal of establish the market. DeDecco have proven out the business model and is now ready to take this business to the next level.

Final words about the outcome from the accelerator

People are very motivated to help out and give input on the business. The acceleration has an atmosphere that invites you to discover and test out the business. It has been a very exciting three months where both the startup and me have developed. The team behind THINK accelerate have gave us such good advice and their network with mentors have been very suitable for this business. Great people make great things is what I’m going to take with me. Being a great person needs development of yourself but the most critical part is to have great people around you to reach the greatness you look for.

Wish me good luck for tomorrow!
