Revised MVP and Business Plan 

Integrating feedback to ensure the MVP aligns with business strategy is crucial for refining products to meet market demands.

Equally important are storytelling techniques, which help engage investors by making the pitch more relatable and memorable. Mastering both areas enables students to effectively communicate their business vision and increase their chances of securing investor support.
