As a VS owner, here are the top 5 questions first time founders should always answer in their pitch deck. 1 - What are your Unit Economics ? Understanding your unit economics, or the profitability of each individual customer, is critical. It helps you determine your pricing strategy, customer acquisition costs, and overall business sustainability. And this also gives a very clear vision to the VC or VS. 2 - What is your Go-to-Market Strategy ? A well-defined go-to-market strategy outlines how you'll reach your target market, acquire customers, and generate revenue. It's essential to have a clear plan for customer acquisition, sales, and marketing. This also show the VC or VS that you have a clear plan in mind and have really thought things through. 3 - How will you scale your business ? Investors want to see potential for growth. Demonstrate your ability to scale your operations, whether it's through technology, partnerships, or expanding your team is very necessary to be presented very properly. 4 - What is your risk mitigation plan ? Every startup faces risks. A solid risk mitigation plan shows that you've considered potential challenges and have strategies in place to address them, which further takes the VC or Vs into confidence. 5 - How will you measure success ? Clearly defined key performance indicators (KPIs) will help you track your progress and make data-driven decisions. Investors want to see that you have a clear understanding of what constitutes success for your business. So beyond the basics, there are the 5 questions which are many times overlooked but do have the power to make or break your pitch.

KPIs are so underrated. VCs don’t just want to hear big dreams—they want data and measurable outcomes. If a founder can show they’ve thought about KPIs from day one, it’s a huge plus.

Totally agree with the focus on unit economics. So many founders forget this, and it's the foundation of understanding if your business is even viable. If a startup doesn’t know its profitability per user, it’s already in shaky territory.
