Antler VN 7 Bootcamp 1 – How to size the market easily? Day 5 is our bootcamp 1 presentations. All teams got a day to put together a pitch deck. Turns out there is a format you shouldn't try to deviate too much. For an example about Market Size: TAM: Should be in billions, shows your long-term ambitions and vision with no constraint. SAM: Your go-to-market strategy, filter by your offering, country, etc. Shows how you think about your entry point. SOM: Should be at least 100-150 million, first 3-year execution, consider they are your first 15% before The Chasm (Law of Diffusion of Innovation), capturing only those who care about the problem you trying to solve. Better still to show ⬆️ increasing CAGR for your industry. Why this way? It is because most VCs are betting on whether you are the unicorn 🦄, and they just need 2 (In Antler's context) If everyone's numbers are more or less the same, then what makes the difference? How you backed it up data, not just your opinion. Two very similar startups can offer different strategy. #AntlerVietnam #StartUpBootcamp #MarketSize #TAMSAMSOM #StartUp #LawOfDiffusion #LetsRally

VCs only invest in validated MVPs, not ideas alone. Because 90% of startups fail due to no real need. Many founders pitch with just an idea, hoping for funding. But here’s the deal Ideas without proof are just guesses. Startups need validation, not just concepts. For example, Antler receives 12k-15k applications each year But they only choose 15 startups to invest. Investors want to see how you → Tested your concept → Gained real traction → Without burning a lot of cash. An MVP doesn't guarantee you will get funded. But it increases the chance of your application. An MVP is essential, not optional anymore. If you have a bunch of ideas, follow this roadmap: → Allocate resources → Validate concepts early → Build an MVP resonating with customers → Use the traction as a solid proof in your pitch Are you going for funding or relying on bootstrapping?
