Present your live company, revenue and 6-month growth plan
This week turns 16 weeks of work into a clear five minute story. You will show the customer problem, live product, evidence, revenue, lessons, and a realistic six month plan.
Show the funnel from reach to payment and continued use. Include revenue, active users, activation, retention or repeat use, conversion, and customer evidence where available. State the time period and define each measure. Small honest numbers are more useful than vague large claims.
A five minute pitch needs a clear sequence: customer and problem, evidence, product, how it works, traction, business model, learning, and next plan. Each slide should make one point. Remove background that does not change the audience's understanding.
Use a realistic scenario and show the shortest path to value. Test the live product, login, data, internet connection, and display setup. Keep screenshots or a short recording as a backup.
Choose a small number of priorities based on evidence. Set a baseline, target, date, action, and review rhythm for each. Include key risks and what would cause you to change course. A plan is credible when it acknowledges limits.

Why it fits: Teaches students to explain the problem, solution, customer and unique insight clearly and concisely.
Record a three-minute pitch containing the problem, customer, live product demonstration, evidence, business model and next milestone.
The video supports the lesson above — it doesn't replace it.
Help me turn the verified facts below into a five minute Demo Day outline. Use sections for customer problem, evidence, product demonstration, traction, business model, lessons, and six month plan. Keep every number attached to a period and definition. Flag missing evidence and remove any unsupported claim.
Week 16 · Case study
Source note: Documented acquisition reported by TechCrunch, with additional company context from Wix. This exceptional outcome is not a typical student benchmark. The student-sized version below is an illustrative exercise, not part of the reported case.
Maor Shlomo launched Base44 in early 2025 as a platform for creating full-stack applications through natural-language instructions. He initially operated it as a bootstrapped solo founder, handling product development, customer support, sales, and operations.
Six months after its creation, Wix acquired Base44 for approximately $80 million in cash. The acquisition is an exceptional result and should not be presented as a normal student target. What students can learn from it is how to tell a complete product story: a clear problem, a working demonstration, active users, recurring revenue, rapid learning, and a believable next step.
Give a five-minute presentation containing only six elements: customer problem, evidence, live workflow, user result, business model, and next 90-day plan. Attach a definition and time period to every number.
If the live demonstration failed, what evidence would still prove that the product creates value?
Respond in your submission →Deliver a five minute Demo Day pitch showing your product and paying customers. Submit the deck, live link, backup demonstration, verified metrics, and six month plan. If you have no paying customer yet, state that clearly and show the strongest evidence and next test.
