Hi Mason,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your pitch for SenseiAI. I’m intrigued by your concept of making mentorships scalable through automation. I believe mentorship is incredibly valuable, and finding a way to provide guidance and accountability to more people is a great opportunity.

Based on your pitch, I have a few recommendations to help polish it and make it more compelling:

5 Rules for Pitching

1. Show, Don’t Tell
   • Instead of simply describing how SenseiAI works, consider including a brief product demo to show how it actually works in action. This will help investors visualize the value and potential of your platform.
2. Get to the Product in 15 Seconds
   • Introduce SenseiAI and its value proposition succinctly within the first 15 seconds of your pitch. Make it clear and captivating so that investors immediately understand what your company does.
3. Examples Matter!
   • Instead of speaking generally about how SenseiAI automates coaching, provide a specific and compelling example of how it has helped a customer. Sharing a success story or showcasing the impact of your platform on a real user will make your pitch more tangible and relatable.
4. Synchronicity: what you say matches what’s on the slide
   • Ensure that the information you present on each slide is aligned with what you say. Avoid discrepancies or inconsistencies and make sure the visuals on your slides support your verbal explanations.
5. One Point Per Slide
   • Simplify your slides by focusing on one key point per slide. This will make your pitch cleaner and easier to follow. Use visuals, such as charts and images, to make your slides more engaging and memorable.

     Now, let’s work through your pitch and address some missing sections:

     Title: SenseiAI
     Intro: Hi, Mason! I’m Mason Lawlor, the founder of SenseiAI. Our mission is to make mentorships scalable, providing individuals with access to valuable guidance and accountability.
     Problem: Many aspiring entrepreneurs and individuals seek mentorship from influential figures like Jason Calacanis, but these mentors often have limited time. As a result, students may not receive sufficient guidance and accountability.
     Product: At SenseiAI, we empower mentors like Jason Calacanis to scale their mentorship programs. By setting up their personalized SenseiOS, mentors can automate coaching and engage with questions, goals, and pitches from mentees. This allows mentors to have a broader impact while maintaining personalization.
     Business Model: We offer subscription plans for mentors, allowing them to monetize their expertise. Our beta program is priced at $12 per month, with a revenue sharing model of 20%.
     Traction: Since our soft launch earlier this month, we have already attracted over 50 free users for SenseiAI. Additionally, our revenue from whitelabel plans and revenue sharing has reached over $13k this year through our parent company Bonsai.
     Customers: Highlight some of your current customers or early adopters who have benefited from SenseiAI’s platform. Share testimonials or case studies from these customers to showcase the value and impact of your product.
     Competition: Provide an overview of your competitors and how SenseiAI differentiates itself from them. Consider using a visual chart or table to compare key features and strengths.
     Go-To Market: Explain your strategy for acquiring influential Senseis, mentors, and coaches for your pilot program pipeline. Emphasize the seamless onboarding process for these mentors and showcase the benefits they can unlock by using SenseiAI.
     Roadmap: Share your vision for growth and scalability. Outline your milestones on the path to reaching $10M and $100M in revenue. Consider incorporating a timeline visualization to illustrate these milestones and briefly explain how you plan to achieve them.
     Team: Highlight your team’s expertise and experience. Provide the names, titles, and relevant backgrounds of your key team members. You can also include logos of previous companies they’ve worked for to demonstrate their expertise in the industry.

     Following these improvements, it would be helpful to address the missing sections and provide more information:

     Customers:

   • Identify and describe your target customers in more detail. Who are the ideal mentees for your platform? What types of mentors will you attract?
   • Highlight some of your current customers or early adopters. Do you have any success stories or testimonials that demonstrate the positive impact of SenseiAI on their mentorship experience?

     Competition:

   • Research and identify direct and indirect competitors in the mentorship and coaching space.
   • Explain how SenseiAI stands out from these competitors. What unique features or advantages does your platform offer?

     Team:

   • Introduce the key members of your team, including their expertise, roles, and relevant achievements. Highlight how their backgrounds and experience uniquely position SenseiAI for success.

     Once you’ve addressed these missing sections and added more details, your pitch will be more well-rounded and investor-friendly.
