Fundraising Pitch and Business plan

Company Overview Interloop is a software and services company that gives companies a competitive advantage by rapidly connecting the data locked in existing business systems – providing the actionable insights for making better decisions, faster. Founded in 2017, Interloop has created a unique technology platform and expert services that help companies become Insight Driven Organizations (IDOs).  According to Forrester's research,  IDOs on average grow at more than 30% year over year.  That's 7 to 10 times faster than the global economy! Forbes has also noted that 90% of the world's data was created in the past year but only 1% of that data is used effectively.  Interloop democratizes a company's data enabling business users to rapidly connect and unify data sources, gain needed insights and most importantly take action based on those insights. Our goal at Interloop is to address this data insights challenge head on and to become the leader in this space.  We have profitably bootstrapped the company to date, but now that we have achieved early traction, we plan to begin fundraising in Q4 of 2019 and we need your help! The Interloop team needs help creating a fundraising pitch deck (+ appendix).  This will include key elements from the company's Go-To-Market Plan (Target Market Demographics and Size + Strategy), Long-Term Business Plan, Basic Financial Projections, and other Due Diligence Documents.  This pitch deck and associated documents will be used to raise a seed round of ~ $500K+ that will accelerate our growth in 2020.
