Here's how you can effectively convey your innovative startup ideas to stakeholders.

> Clearly define the pain point your idea addresses and showcase how your solution is innovative and solves it better than existing options. > Demonstrate a strong understanding of your target market and the potential impact your idea will have. > Quantify this with data when possible. >Highlight the expertise and passion of your team, and provide a clear roadmap for bringing your idea to life, addressing potential challenges.

"?? ???????????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? ???????? ?? ?????????? ????????????????"- ?????????????????? Let me tell you, in the whirlwind of a startup, ideas can get as complex as a malfunctioning combine harvester in rush hour (been there!). But before you unleash that intricate design on your stakeholders, take a deep breath and distill it. Imagine explaining your concept to your grandma – not the tech-savvy one, the one who still uses a flip phone. Can you paint a picture of the problem you're solving, the unique twist of your solution, and why it matters in a way that's clear and captivating? If Grandma gets it, the VC wizards will too.

Be ultra clear about the Problem, the consequence of the problem and whom does it impact. Ask a counter intuitive question - Is this a problem worth solving? If yes, craft the problem statement in a very crisp manner and the consequence in a quantifiable manner. Also see how you are different from your competition. Never build a #MeToo product for the sake of it.

"?????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ?????? ???????????????? ???? ???????????? ???? ?????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ????." - ?????????? ?????????? ?????????????? Think of stakeholders as investors in a startup fashion show. You wouldn't wear the same outfit to pitch to a boardroom full of suits as you would to a room of Gen Z influencers, right? Same goes for your pitch. Investors want to see a financial runway longer than a Kansas wheat field. Customers? They care about the comfort and style (read: how your idea solves their problems). Tailor your message to resonate with their specific needs and desires.

When you start off with new ideas it is very enticing to "Boil the Ocean" and solve everything, but it is prudent to ascertain who has the problem and what do they immediately want. Always check on the "Desirability" of the Consumer and never thrust tech jargon. Once you establish a niche customer segment expansion is that much more easy. Finally, is your consumer willing to pay for your offering is a good question to ask before taking the plunge.

"???????????? ???? ??????????????????." Remember the time you tried explaining a complex digital marketing strategy with a napkin sketch? (Let's not dwell on that one.) Visual aids are your friends, but use them strategically. Think of them as brushstrokes painting a clear picture of your market opportunity and the innovative path you're carving.

One of my Ux Research colleagues used to map the user journey with pictures and props to help chart out the right compelling journey that users will/could do. So instead of words and powerpoints, if you can build those cool fancy sketch notes with critical call outs of the user journey then it has more chances of being sticky in the audience's mind.

Mapping users and personalizing the journey is always a good approach. We once used ourselves as actors to do a pitch for 3 minutes for a problem that we intended to solve and the audience got it immediately and the PPT based pitch was just the icing on the cake. Sketch notes, short videos to highlight the personae and their journey will always be better and ofcourse if you know that your audience is not too enticed with tech, it is ok to mention tech but not over pitch it.

"?????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????????? ???? ???????? ???? ????????????, ??????????????, ?????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???? ????????????????????." - ???????????? ?????????????? People connect with stories. It's in our DNA. So ditch the dry monologue and weave a narrative that captures the journey that led you to this breakthrough idea. Share the challenges you faced, the "aha!" moment of innovation, and how your solution will disrupt the status quo in the education landscape (just like Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone). Make your audience feel the passion, the struggle, and the potential impact. A story that resonates sticks long after the technical specs fade.

"???????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ????????." Innovation is sexy, but feasibility is the foundation that keeps the whole house from collapsing. Show your stakeholders you've got more than just a brainstorm. Present a well-defined business model that showcases your plan for bringing this EdTech marvel to market. Did you build a prototype? Conducted customer interviews? Launched a pilot program? Share the steps you've taken to validate your idea and demonstrate your commitment to turning this innovative concept into a thriving business. Remember, stakeholders are backing more than just an idea, they're backing the team with the vision and the grit to make it a reality.

Desirability once established needs to then check if it is Feasible to build, release, market, sustain it. This is where you bring in the money, strategy and vision in cold hard terms and demonstrate a growth plan which is iterative and realistic. How you handle competition and tech challenges as well as customer acquisition cost is also very important to design up front.

Co-creators and sparring partners Treat stakeholders as co-creators and sparring partners. Involve them in the process, allowing them to follow your logic and provide feedback. This approach fosters deeper involvement and helps refine your idea, making your pitch stronger.
