Timeline
- Y Combinator receives pitches in so-called Batches. The next one is Spring 2026 Batch, for which deadline is the 9th of February.
We decided to look for pitch competitions within the span of the semester.
- Unfortunately there are no pitch competitions before the 20th of January.
- The closes to date is AI festival in Milan, which happens on 21st-22nd of January and hosts pitch competition. It connects start-ups, venture capitalists and investors.
- The only option, which is not ideal, is a business management conference in Salzburg (3rd of January) or London (15th of January) – however we are not sure if the audience suits design of our project? How fitting must the audience be?
Strategy & Business Model
According to Y/C in orderd to prepare a pitch we need to ask ourselves the following questions:
1. What do you do?
2. How big is the market?
3. What’s your progress?
4. What’s your unique insight?
5. What’s your business model?
6. Who’s on your team?
7. What do you want?
Competitors Analysis: Unique Insight
We did competitors analysis and on this basis decided on the niche we want to fill in – modeling wealth redistribution trough progressive wealth taxation (proposed by Thomas Piketty) as none of the competitors implement this.
Business Model:
Value Proposition
Nobody is focusing on the implementation of technology in order to achieve a more fair society, as radically as we are. We say it as it is, and we will penetrate spaces where these billionaires exist and tell them how it is. How bold should we be about mentioning billionaires?
