    Typical  challenges  and  solu4ons   VC  Pitches  
    Don‘t  use  the

    Typical  challenges  and  solu4ons   Uncovered  areas  
    The  business  model  
    canvas  covers  many  
    but  not  all  aspects.  
    Make  sure  you  also  
    consider  e.g.  the  
    environment,  team  
    and  feasibility  
    ques4ons.
