Module 11: Product
Learning objectives: find out how to present your product in the best way.
Investors see a lot of products. Yours needs to stand out. The best way of doing this is not listing features that others can copy, but to show your product in action. This module will help you understand what to include on the slide to show how special your product is, and how to present yours by illustrating the most important customer journey.

'Working with Marcus and Nick has been a magical experience. They've helped me crack my own pitch deck and messaging. They've done the same for startups we invested in. They can do it for you as well.'
Peet Denny, Founding Partner - Climate VC
As an angel investor you have the ability to influence and make a real difference with the value you can add. Marcus does this through his startup investments and Nick has added so much value along my journey including through the Thunderdome where I perfected my pitch deck and purpose statement. Big thank you to the U2R team!'
