Emerging Young Entrepreneurs

Emerging Young Entrepreneurs

Your Startup Guru Managing Director, Joon Hong, recently had the opportunity to advise the 2022 cohort in the Emerging Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) program on their pitch decks.

The National Minority Supplier Development Council’s Emerging Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) program is a year-long program uniquely designed to provide the next generation of minority entrepreneur participants ages 19-35 with support to enhance their growing business. Business owners will receive guidance from corporate sponsors, MBEs, and additional stakeholders. EYE will utilize an interactive pre and post-conference curriculum along with five days of hands-on training and practical application. Participants are provided the skills, tools, and strategies to start or grow their innovative businesses.

About NMSDC’s Emerging Young Entrepreneurs Program

Founded in 1972, the National Minority Supplier Development Council Inc.® (NMSDC®) is the longest-operating business growth engine for the broadest group of systematically excluded communities of color (Asian-Indian, Asian-Pacific, Black, Hispanic, and Native American), and our impact goes far beyond supply chain. It’s about upward mobility for the emerging majority of Americans, an equal shot at participating in the American experiment of free-market capitalism and entrepreneurship. Our work is about correcting the unequal access to wealth-building opportunities.

Fundraising Pitch Deck for Medical Company Syncore

Syncore is a medical company that came to Your Startup Guru for a fundraising pitch deck. With over 75,000 medical-associated infection deaths a year and 57% of sterilization processing department workers are not fully qualified, the need for Syncore’s services were overwhelming. However, without a solid pitch deck to raise secure startup capital, it was difficult for them to fill that need.

About Syncore

Syncore was founded on the belief that education and training, along with utilizing today’s technology, can promote healthy change. Syncore offers a holistic approach to healthcare services covering all aspects of a facility:

  • Litigation Testimony
    • The scope of surgery can be very complex. We can create action plans for court testimony and Joint Commission responses. We also offer detailed reports and will speak on behalf of your company. We offer simple solutions as needed in your situation.
  • Staff and Management Training
    • Operating rooms today have service line coordinators and specialty techs for specialty cases but in sterile processing all techs are expected to know everything and it has never worked. Training SPD techs similar to the practices of the O.R. is key to bridging the communication gaps and preventing service delays within your department.
  • Resource Cost Utilization
    • We take a deep dive into your sterile processing department product utilization and your staffs understanding of such resources. We find that on average there is substantial waste that can be easily eliminated with better work practices that will easily satisfy any infection control regulatory agency.
  • Staff Education
    • So your staff knows how to load the autoclave and washer; but does your staff truly understand their job and the science behind it? We give complete competencies in decontamination, assembly, quality assurance, instrumentation, documentation, and will assist in creating an education curriculum or department orientation for your team. We not only will train but will teach your staff as well.
  • Business Strategy
    • Does the equipment in your sterile processing department serves your hospital as intended? We can assist in planning and execution of capital requests, department planning, blueprints, and design flow. Your department has to make sense for surgeon satisfaction and a highly productive team.
  • Policy Creation
    • Once you are satisfied with the implemented changes you must make sure to include the accountability factor. We can help create policies as needed to drive the change into the needed culture change of your facility. We will also come in after the fact and help sustain the change as needed. Your success is our success.

Real Estate Development Pitch Deck

Avalon Regal Theater - Your Startup Guru

Your Startup Guru created a real estate development pitch deck for The Avalon Regal Theater as part of a $110M revitalization project in Chicago’s South Side, including a $1M commitment from Kanye West to The Avalon Regal Theater’s renovation.

About Avalon Regal Theater

The historic theater opened on August 29, 1927, and has since had performances from Tupac, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Louis Armstrong, Josephine Baker, Cab Calloway, Nat King Cole, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Pearl Jam, The Supremes, and many more. It even held an election-night party to celebrate Barack Obama’s victory in 2008.

The Avalon Regal Theater was designated as a Chicago Landmark in 1992.

Need

There are myriad social, economic and environmental factors present in predominantly African-American urban neighborhoods that can lead to dysfunction. These factors are well documented both nationally, and particularly among neighborhoods on Chicago’s South and West sides.

Chief among the factors causing dysfunction is a cycle of intergenerational poverty. A recent report by the Pew Research Center showed that 38.3 percent of black children in the United States now live in poverty, nearly four times the rate for white children.

Beyond the social impact of blighted neighborhoods, the economic opportunity cost is significant.  When most household in the area purchase goods and services outside of their neighborhood, it leads to a retail gap of over $400 million dollars.  This lost capital cannot be reinvested into a struggling community, which causes a pernicious downward spiral.

Opportunity

The Chicago Regal Foundation (“CRF” or the “Foundation”) and Community Capital Investment Partners (“CCIP” or “Community Capital”) are proposing a multi-phased, $110,000,000 investment in the historic South Shore and Avalon Park neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side. Through a combination of traditional philanthropic support and market-based initiatives, the project will be developed around the juncture of 79th Street, Stony Island Avenue, South Chicago Avenue, and the Chicago Skyway, incorporating the newly christened Regal Theater District as the cornerstone of a larger Arts & Innovation Corridor (the “District” or “Corridor”).

When combined with recently announced nearby projects such as the Barack Obama Presidential Library campus, the historic Pullman District National Monument, and the 600-acre Lakeside Development the opportunity exists for a large-scale transformation of Chicago’s South Side.

How to make a better pitch deck

better_or_worse

One of the key tasks for any startup is pitching your business.  Whether it be to potential investors, lenders, future partners, etc.  Conveying information compellingly is difficult so creating a narrative is helpful.  As with any narrative, stories are best told with pictures.

Presentations with bullet points and lots of text are ill-advised…and some very influential people agree.  Google CEO Sundar Pichai used only about 40 words over the course of 12 slides in his presentation at the company’s developers conference this year.  One researcher concludes that the average PowerPoint presentation contains 40 words per slide.  The slides in Sundar’s presentation mainly contained pictures and animations.  The slides with text were only used to succinctly describe the image.

This is because it is difficult for the brain to do two things at once:  namely, read and listen.  However, looking and listening is much easier.

Contact us and let’s craft a beautiful, highly, persuasive pitch deck for your business.
