Watch and Learn From This Startup's Pitch to VC Tim Draper 

I salute Tim for his patience

When the founder said Facebook and Google couldn’t do it, it’s quite a turn off. Point is big firms could do it, it’s whether or not it’s a big enough market for them to spend millions or they already had a better way of doing something

Thank you posting your pitch to the extraordinary Tim Draper! Great job guys! I am greatly understanding and utilizing the portion regarding your application metrics. Best wishes for your future success! ✨🙏

if i held this presentation at uni for my enterprise class i think i would have gotten about 50-55%. Clearly the company isn't gonna make bank from the golden pins.

"Watch and Learn" what not to do.

a good example of what not to do in a pitch

"People stay on the app just to get the loyalty points" -- okay next.

No clear idea on their business model and how it will affect usability of the product.

The UI is ugly as hell.

sure do love that TWEETER

i think the back end idea is golden, but the app is bad, ugly, and features are not thought over. Classic great idea bad research, bad validation, and bad execution to actually make the great idea to a great product...

I didn't wanna point this out, but couldn't be unheard @3:38

It's a stalking app. Very dangerous.

The Geolocation is just a bit intrusive for me. I mean you can just make use of tags and probably make use of geolocation to set your present city upone registration, but they don't necessarily have to know where exactly I am, whenever people are searhing for activities etc..

I thought the presentation went well, except for when he claimed that Google and Facebook can't do proximity with their privacy feature. I respectfully disagree; it is not that they are unable to do so; rather, they have chosen not to. So, when selling your idea, make sure not to oversell it, as the audience will notice.

The body gesture of that red shirt guy is so bad and free style.

Let the damn investor talk, stop interrupting far out this is annoying.

great video cant wait to check out the rest this is very useful we'll all learn a lot from these thanks.

3:58 Why does he interrupt a question? Just listen til the end! 7:49 Does the same thing here. This guys need to learn to listen.

No one want their privacy location get expose to Public

On Dragon's Den there was a guy that pitched the same idea but with Basketball. It's identical.

I am so uninspired by this company

Really weak presentation.... no cash flow profile, let alone a revenue model that works. In order to get close to the user base an advertising revenue model requires, they would have to get hundreds of thousands of engaged users. It's a nice to have....

The design of his prototype sucks ... typical engineer mentality thinking they can get away with angel or VC funding having a crappy MVP and an even worse presentation.

Man all I need is the opportunity to get in front of this guy.

A social media app isn't meant to blow up if you intentionally create it. Facebook, Snapchat, and RU-vid were made for fun and the people who created it had no idea it is going to be a huge company. Google+ and Apple Music was intentionally made and look where it got them.

I can do this, i can do that. This is whats happening this week, this is whats happening next week. 'Apparently' my market that i know a lot about buy this thing for some reason, 'apparently'. Very rude, very arrogant about his market, not prepared to admit any faults.

There is a lack of clarity in whatever the purpose of this app. I like the fact that you can engage with people for activities, however, the business model is not quite there.

very hypocritical. The purpose is "to find other volley ball player" but revenue is going to come from businesses? So the core principal of this app is for non-consumer based engagement such as finding like-minded people for a game or a coffee meetup. Are they now saying that they want this app to also be used to find local businesses? Now you have a whole NEW list of competitors (i.e. Google). LOL your business model does not work very well as is. You must address the revenue-generating side of it.

How did this sad confusing idea ever get in front of Tim Draper??

doesn’t feel like they really market tested the idea and more so the UI? if it was based around the entire ecosystem of volleyball (equipment & meetups) it would be more juicy IMO

They talk about the Middle East but look at the Indian subcontinent in the map

Its a crappy app..cant instal in android..cant login in ios..

Seems they were failing to answer the only question that matters. How does this thing make money? I would call that a pretty poor presentation.

features are explained but benefits to customers nourishes business

viral marketing. LOL

So did they get the investment? A cliffhanger

Where is the money made?

holy shit... this was my idea a few months back....

an app for Stalkers SMH!

I'd pay attention to 14:39

Please contact a Ui designer to improve your design. Your UI & Ux is so bad!

Cringeworthy at best

this is bad

HAHAHAH nice forecast

now its 2020 ... and .... nothing

I guess be saying "googler" he means he use google a LOT

This niggas voice is funny as fuck ❤️

Bored .

Paused at 10m. 10/10 negative in the comments (stopped there) - what are you guys sitting in the dorm commons Sunday morning and your lead girl is on his period? (Not quite how this crowd puts it, but it works out to the same, naive cliquish arrogance - yes you. ) The worst is that you do not appreciate the Russian intensity of management - that's an asset and you think it's arrogance. It could be a problem for you if you are big competitor. So far draper is in perfect sync - he asked the question and the next slide answered. Perfect prep? Damn good. This is the best edit feedback - right here and now. Dweeb comments reveal very shallow understanding of actual business reality - to royal court clowns facts don't matter. But, here they are: A great idea is very simple and unique and has some form of hook to build dominant market - to cap on. Which is WHY you go to VC's. Otherwise you don't need VC $$$$$$. And the best will spark off the next Facebook and anticipate trends to help you to make those moves. In mass-eyeballs and buy-in cases like this - they should already know how to cap. Witness next moves NOW at Facebook - even Amazon (except this was early 2014.) You could pivot to anything if you own the local buy-ins markets. Advertising? You fun betcha. I can put together an entirely new market concept for this in 5 minutes. (Go ahead and guess.) I'll be back after I watch the second half. Draper wasn't as astute as I thought he would be - he slept in on the first half. And the guys did okay, but I was feeling they got thrown by Draper's cog gap - and they got into remedial reading mode - and didn't emphasize local market ownership effectively - because that is the direction everyone is going as "last mile" disruption of Sears, etc. This is a powerful, powerful medium. If Draper was staying above the clouds on this - he would have led this discussion and pushed further into how a winning sleeper app might actually compete against the well financed Mini-me's to follow. Easy concept market plan? I'M GOING TO LOOK AROUND and see if it exists. Since I'm the guy that literally invented the public (mass transit / bus) version of Uber in 1974 (for $1400 total), and came up with cell-phone Uber about 2010 (too late!) I might just see if these guys or their successors want to engage with me. It's 2017. Wonder how it's going?

Looks like the company is shut down already!

WHAT THE F**K DID I JUST WATCH

Millionen

This is some shitty app

lol so many creepy men will use this

Aswsss

What a joke!!! GTFO
