Startup Funding Espresso What Are Critical Thinking Skills?
What Are Critical Thinking Skills? Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Critical thinking understands the connection between multiple ideas and concepts. In building a pitch deck a founder needs critical thinking skills to create a logical flow throughout the pitch that highlights the main points to the investor. Here are some key critical thinking skills to employ: Ability to consider different viewpoints and see the business from other perspectives. Ability to create a solid argument based on evidence. Ability to draw logical conclusions from the evidence to make the case for the startup. Ability to separate fact from fiction which creates a well grounded startup premise. Ability to analyze the thinking process to find the flaws. Consider applying these skills to your startup pitch: Avoid bias in the pitch such as leaning to the technical side rather than the business side. Apply solid research to your startup pitch rather than guesstimates. Identify the problem you are solving not only on the surface but also other factors that influence the problem. Approach the market with curiosity to learn more. Consider the relevance of information by how it helps to make your case or detracts from it. Apply these critical thinking skills to your pitch deck presentation. \xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
