To attract more investment, there is a need
for the best synopsis

Introduction
  • A start-up synopsis is a short document that has
    a big impact. Sometimes known as one-pager, a
    start-up synopsis is a short version of a
    business plan that most investors like to
    consider before deciding to call you for a
    presentation meeting. With the stakes so high, it
    is essential to create a concise, yet
    comprehensive, exciting and well-written synopsis.

Understand what a start-up synopsis is for
  • The founder and CEOs know their companies like
    the back of their hands, and trying to gather so
    much relevant information in so little space is a
    challenge. The key is knowing what to prioritize.
    We've put together nine simple steps to help you
    create a persuasive and informative pager that
    will help you plan the big meeting.
  • Understand what a startup synopsis is for
    before even typing a word, you need to understand
    the purpose and logic behind a synopsis and what
    investors look for when they read one.Famous
    venture capitalists and other investors are
    inundated with enthusiastic startup proposals
    hoping for a partnership. A synoptic document is
    the easiest way to know and evaluate the
    potential of your company. If they like your
    synopsis they might ask for your, presentation or
    schedule a meeting directly. If they don't, they
    will likely throw it away and never think about
    you or your company again.

Your synopsis must contain all of the information
investors require
  • Your synopsis must contain all of the information
    investors require to make this assessment.
    Normally, this comprise the following Your value
    proposition, a description of the product or
    service, an explanation of the customer base and
    relevant market factors, your business model and
    future projects, financial projections, Your
    funding request, Any other special or impressive
    information about your company and its founders
  • Creating the synopsis of your start-up can be a
    clarification exercise to understand the
    strengths and weaknesses of your company, which
    you can then distil in points of sale

Engaged investors likely won't read the entire
summary
  • Engaged investors likely won't read the entire
    summary unless you get their attention within the
    first few seconds. The quickest way to get them
    involved is to describe the need or problem your
    start-up wants to solve or is already solving.
  •  
  • After getting the reader's attention, explain how
    your product aims to solve the problem.Do not go
    into product specifications or other details.
    Space is precious and if investors really want to
    know how your product works, they will call you
    to talk about it. Just give a very broad overview
    and quantify the difference you can make where
    possible.

Smart business ideas are useless unless there is
a proven and well-defined market
  • Smart business ideas are useless unless there is
    a proven and well-defined market. Show potential
    investors that you have a good understanding of
    the product market's adequacy and that there is a
    (hopefully large) market of people who will
    happily purchase your product if given the
    opportunity.
  • Investors are checking to see if you understand
    the needs and concerns of your target customers.
    The more you understand your customers, the more
    you will be able to create a successful product
    or service that meets their needs.When writing,
    keep in mind that your user base may not be the
    same as your customers. For example, if your
    product is a textbook, the paying customer is
    actually the school board, not the students or
    even the teachers. Clarify who is making the
    purchasing decisions for your users and what
    their considerations are. Include customer
    specific people if you have space.

Investors want to know that you have done some
competitive analysis
  • If you've really come across a great solution to
    a common problem, chances are you're not the only
    one out there. Investors want to know that you
    have done some competitive analysis, that you
    know how you compare to competitors and which
    outlets make you stand out.Focus on the
    positives, including what your company offers,
    rather than the negatives, such as the
    shortcomings of your rivals. Collect this
    information by researching your competitors,
    reviewing your existing users, and testing
    competing products if possible.

CONCLUSION
  • Writing a start-up synopsis is not an easy
    exercise. It can be frustrating to try to
    condense your business details into one
    page.Remember what's at stake. This is the first
    interaction a potential investor will have with
    your company, so it's a golden opportunity to win
    them over with your enthusiasm, organization and
    professionalism. Spend the time doing it right so
    you can start building relationships in person.
