Question 1:

A sophisticated venture investor is a high net worth individual who is knowledgeable and experienced in weighing the risks and opportunities in a new venture investment proposition. Based upon supporting research and your assessment of the six (6) investor pitches you have chosen to review, in your view, what comprises a great pitch for a sophisticated investor?

Detail what you believe the content should be and recommend an ideal format and/or style of presentation. All supporting research should be cited and referenced.

Question 2:

Is it misguided to assume that a feasibility study for an opportunity is sufficient to prepare an investor pitch? Explain why you consider this perception is correct or incorrect. If you consider a feasibility study is inadequate, what else to you deem is required to be prepared to pitch for investment to a sophisticated investor?
