12 min read

📝 Pitch Deck Worksheet: Odora

Instructions: The content below has been extracted from your persona and narrative to fit standard investor expectations.

Slide 1: Title & Introduction

Q: What is your Company Name? Answer: Odora

Q: What is your “Tagline” (a 5-7 word catchy phrase describing what you do)? Answer: Never miss an opportunity because of your voice.

Q: Who is presenting and what is their contact info? Answer: [Your Name] | [Your Email]

Slide 2: The Problem

Q: What specific pain point does your customer face? (Be descriptive). Answer:

  • The “Naked” Founder: Technical founders and immigrants have the product skills to build, but lack the communication skills to sell.
  • The “Mark” Persona: They are articulate in their heads but monotone, rambling, and anxious in high-stakes meetings.
  • The Opportunity Cost: Ambition is capped by communication. They lose investors, co-founders, and hires not because the product is bad, but because the story wasn’t clear.

Q: How are people currently trying to solve this (and why does it fail)? Answer:

  • Role-playing apps: They lack the “stress factor” of real life. They don’t prepare you for the internal struggle of a high-stakes moment.
  • Human Coaches: Expensive, unscalable, and not available 24/7 or during the actual meeting.

Q: Can you quantify the pain? (e.g., How much money or time are they losing?) Answer:

  • Zero Conversion: Founders spend years building, only to fail at the fundraising stage due to poor pitch delivery.
  • Talent Drain: Inability to articulate vision results in failing to attract high-quality co-founders and employees.

Slide 3: The Solution

Q: What is your solution in one clear sentence? Answer: Odora is an AI communication coach that helps founders speak articulately and overcome bad habits in both virtual and real-world interactions.

Q: What is the “Magic” or the specific benefit the user gets? (e.g., “Save 10 hours a week”) Answer:

  • The Mirror Effect: It brings unconscious habits (monotone, filler words) to awareness so they can be fixed.
  • Stress Adaptation: Unlike role-play, Odora helps users navigate actual high-stakes moments, turning every failure into a data point for improvement.
  • “Luck” Engineering: Users stop “missing” opportunities and start capitalizing on them by always being the best version of themselves.

Slide 4: Why Now? (Timing)

Q: Why is this specific moment the best time for your company to succeed? (e.g., new technology, regulatory changes, cultural shifts). Answer:

  1. The Founder Boom: It has never been easier to build a startup (low code/AI), but harder to stand out. Soft skills are the new hard skills.
  2. Immigrant Founders: A massive wave of high-skill immigrants moving to the US/Canada who need to bridge the language/cultural communication gap to succeed.
  3. Hardware Readiness: Meta just announced their Ray-Ban SDK. The infrastructure for real-time, real-life audio analysis via wearables is finally here.

Slide 5: Market Size

Q: What is your TAM (Total Addressable Market - Global demand)? Answer: Global Corporate Training & Soft Skills Market ($370B+ industry).

Q: What is your SAM (Serviceable Available Market - The segment you can actually reach)? Answer: English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Professionals & Technical Founders in North America.

Q: What is your SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market - Your goal for the next 3-5 years)? Answer: Early-stage founders in major startup hubs (SF, NY, Toronto) and Accelerator participants (YC, Techstars).

Slide 6: Product / Technology

Q: What are your top 3 Key Features? Answer:

  1. Awareness Engine: Identifies why a flaw exists (e.g., trauma-response monotone vs. lack of vocabulary).
  2. Virtual Coach: Integrates into Zoom/Meet for post-call analysis and real-time nudges.
  3. Real-Life Integration (Wearables): Utilizing the new Meta SDK to analyze face-to-face coffee chats and networking events via Ray-Bans.

Q: Do you have any “Secret Sauce” or Intellectual Property (Patents, unique algorithms)? Answer: Our proprietary feedback loop that doesn’t just score speech, but identifies the root cause of communication anxiety and provides psychological/tactical correction.

Slide 7: Business Model

Q: How do you make money? (e.g., Subscription, Transaction fee, Licensing). Answer:

  • B2C Subscription: Monthly SaaS fee for the virtual coach.
  • B2B Licensing: Bulk sales to Startup Incubators and Universities (to help their cohorts pitch better).

Q: What is your pricing structure? Answer: [Insert your intended price, e.g., Freemium entry → 99/mo Executive Coaching tier]

Q: What is your LTV (Lifetime Value) vs CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)? Answer: [Placeholder: High LTV expected as communication is a lifelong skill; users grow from “Founder” to “CEO” to “Thought Leader” with the platform.]

Slide 8: Traction / Milestones

Q: What evidence do you have that people want this? (e.g., Revenue, Active Users, Waitlist count, Partnerships). Answer:

  • Case Study (Mark): Our methodology helped a user go from “unfundable” to closing a Pre-Seed round and hiring a team in just 2 months.
  • Community Growth: [Insert social media numbers/waitlist count].

Q: What is your month-over-month growth rate? Answer: [Insert Growth % if available, otherwise focus on qualitative success stories].

  2. Wearable First: We are building for the “Real World” (Meta Ray-Bans), not just the Zoom window.
  3. High-Stakes Focus: We optimize for stressful situations, not just rehearsed speeches.

📝 Pitch Deck Worksheet — Audora

Slide 1: Title & Introduction

Q: Company Name?

Audora

Q: Tagline (5–7 words)?

Master your communication and never miss out on the opportunities your startup deserves.

The AI Communication Coach ensuring you never miss the opportunities your startup deserves.

The AI Communication Coach empowering you to seize every opportunity your startup deserves

Mark — Founder & CEO
[email protected]

Slide 2: The Problem

Q: What pain point does your customer face?

ambitious founders are no longer held back by technology and development. There are now tools for that . what they’re held back by now is their inability to articulate their vision when it matters most. They stumble during investor calls, fail to convince potential buyers, and walk out of opportunities knowing they weren’t understood. They don’t know what they’re doing wrong. After every failed investor call, they’re left wondering, “What the hell did I do wrong?” was it my speech, my pacing, my filler words

Q: How are people currently trying to solve this (and why it fails)?

They try Toastmasters, role-playing apps, YouTube communication coaches, journaling, and practicing in front of the mirror. But these solutions fail in the moments that actually matter: the interactions themselves. None of them diagnose internal habits, emotional patterns, or unconscious communication flaws. None provide objective, real-time behavioral feedback that help you correct your mistakes on the spot

Q: Can you quantify the pain?

Founders lose months of runway from failed pitches, lose 50–90% of potential customers due to unclear communication, and leave millions of dollars & life-changing opportunities on the table in botched interviews. YC partners repeatedly note that most early-stage startups fail not because the product is weak, but because the founder cannot articulate the vision clearly enough

Slide 3: The Solution

Q: One-sentence solution?

Audora is the real-time AI communication coach living on any device (phone, mac, watch, Meta glasses, etc…) that diagnoses your speaking habits, reveals your blind spots, and trains you to become a compelling, articulate communicator in every high-stakes moment.

Q: The “Magic”—the benefit?

You stop losing opportunities because of unclear speech. You learn faster than ever. you also get real-time support from your AI coach during interactions You show up to every meeting as the most articulate version of yourself—and people finally understand you, believe you, and follow you.

Slide 4: Why Now?

  • It’s becoming more and more popular now and easier to become a founder but harder to speak like one for several reasons. The market will continue to expand, especially as immigrants who move to the US or Canada to start their venture. They have all the technical skills to execute on the product, but they don’t have the communication skills to sell the product.
  • A new wave of wearables (e.g. real-time audio and video capture through meta glasses)
  • This is the first moment in history where communication itself can be measured, improved, and optimized through AI in real-time
