Module 9: Solution
Learning objectives: how to craft and present your solution.
If you are tackling a big problem, you must have a solution for it. This is not the same as your product, which is the service or experience you offer customers. Whereas products iterate regularly, solutions endure. This module will help you to craft your solution, align it to your problem, and identify the right highlights to share with investors.

'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!'
