VISION
Help entrepreneurs on a co-funding and co-founding basis to create quickly
their new internet startups.
FasterCapital Company Presentation 3
VISION
We envision a world in which no start-up should be left behind
simply because of the lack of access to funding, mentorship
and access to vital connections. We strive our very best to find,
help and empower the next generation of value-driven and
far-reaching start-ups and provide a one-stop solution to all
the tech-based start-ups, irrespective of wherever they are.
FasterCapital Company Presentation 4
MISSION
Support entrepreneurs in building their ideas from conception stage
to product stage. The incubator becomes a cofounder and cofunder
of the new startup. The incubator will help in improving on the
concept, validating the business plan, defining the MVP (minimum
viable product) and MVM (minimum viable market), development of
the product (web, backend service and possibly mobile),
sales/marketing/PR help, mentorship and raising capital.

Incubation is a huge business
More than 7000 incubators worldwide
Most are following almost the same model
Recruit fresh graduate students from top universities

Current Market Status

FasterCapital Company Presentation 9
Incubators give $25k,$50k or even $100k in exchange of
small equity
Fresh graduate students have no working experience
and thus they won't build solutions for enterprises.
They tend to build technologies rather than products
The current process is suitable to build companies such as
Instagram, twitter and facebook.

Challenges facing Incubation
Non-technical entrepreneurs have to
bring a technical cofounders
1
Eco-system is too much focused on
massive consumer products such as
Twitter, Facebook

FasterCapital Company Presentation 11
Challenges facing Incubation
Few are building startups to service
other enterprises

A non-technical entrepreneur is required
to bring a cofounder to be accepted in
incubators

FasterCapital Company Presentation 12
Options for Non-technical entrepreneur
Outsource the startup
Find a tech cofounder
Recruit a team
Best Solution is FasterCapital
FasterCapital Company Presentation 13
Outsource the startup
Lean methodology can’t be applied. As this needs multiple
iterations and there’s no clear specification
Someone might steal the idea
Outsourcing company might be busy with other things
DISADVANTAGES

Options for Non-technical entrepreneur

Best Solution is FasterCapital
FasterCapital Company Presentation 15
Find a tech cofounder
Each startup needs different platforms to be covered (web, mobile)
Each startup requires different skillset (social, datamining, analysis,
reporting, knowledge of different programming languages)
THUS
CHALLENGES
FasterCapital Company Presentation 16
Find a tech cofounder
Unless the project is very small then one technical person can't
cover all the technologies/skills required in a startup
Technical cofounder don't always have the same entrepreneurship
spirit
DISADVANTAGES
FasterCapital Company Presentation 17
Options for Non-technical entrepreneur
Outsource the startup
Find a tech cofounder
Recruit a team
Best Solution is FasterCapital
FasterCapital Company Presentation 18
Recruit a team
Non-Technical people can easily be misled with CVs
They don't know the right skills needed to develop a product
They will get easily lost with too much focus on technical details
CHALLENGES
FasterCapital Company Presentation 19
Recruit a team
Managing a technical team requires technical knowledge
Entrepreneur has to keep paying those developers even
when there are no further updates just to keep them when
new request comes
