For your Investor Page assignment:
What is a One-Pager?
A One-Pager is a written pitch of your company. The page details the core of your business-what you're offering, how you're going about it and why you stand out from the competition-tightly packaged and expertly worded to fit on a single, sleek and captivating webpage.
Why do I need it?
1. Capture interest. Investors see hundreds of pitches every day. Maybe they remember the gist of what was said in presentations, maybe they don't. One-Pagers are formatted to entice, inform and resonate with people. Their structure piques interest, beginning with an captivating cover image, a bold company name and a gripping tagline, then moves into the essentials-positioning, fundraising plans, intended users.
2. Identify potholes. If there's a section of the template you're not sure how to answer, then this is where you might begin work. Completing the one-pager will help highlight what's missing in your business plan and what needs closer consideration or revision.
3. Focus decision-making. When sales or marketing teams talk to consumers and when designers build features, they can turn to the one-pager for confirmation that their work is supporting the company's core values and goals.
A template is included, and you are welcome to adjust the formatting for visual appeal.
You're also welcome to review the Business Model Canvas worksheet to help you refine any of the sections you believe might need additional details.
