Second presentation feedback

Hello Percy team

Great to see your pitch on Monday, some feedback for you to consider for the final presentation:

You are jumping to the solution too quickly before we understand the problem. It's important we understand the view of your customer so we get that 'ah I get it' moment.
look at Banquer (https://www.banqer.co/) who also gamify financial literacy, i would say more accurately than Sharesies does.
As I mentioned, Sharesies is more about giving access to those that would usually be excluded.
You ROI slide (return on investment) for the banks is very good, but I still need to see customer validation in terms of those that would be using the app. Would they actually use it? Is gamifying savings what will solve their problem?
You age range may be narrowed by your illustrations.

General notes I will be sending to everyone:
Learn your pitch so you can speak confidently with no notes. Keep you sentences clear, simple and short with slow pacing so you don't have to remember heaps. Practice at least 5 times.
Your slides should have the info that makes you look really good, without making things up. What data tells your story the best?
Iterate your pitch, perhaps practice in front of other teams and give each other feedback. What didn't come across? What worked really well?
What do you want people to remember about you? this should be on the slides.
A link to a confident pitch here:
If you are really stuck for slides, here (https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2015/03/the-10-slides-you-need-to-pitch-your-business-idea/) is a list of what the standard pitch deck should consist of. This can be changed or rearranged depending on how you are telling your story. You could also use the business model canvas as a base.
Here (https://blog.ycombinator.com/how-to-pitch-your-company/) is a good article from a startup accelerator about the segments of your business and how to pitch them
And finally, here is probably the most enthusiastic pitch ever. Just for fun, but also shows how passion can make a difference!

We moved away from the name of Smart Savers and to Percy. The name links to the idea of a purse and the "cy" at the end creates ...
