      As a result, the pitch should be limited to only the most important information in 10-15 slides \u2013\u00a0 a 10 minute presentation, 20 minutes at MOST.<\/p>

                          Every startup has competition, not listing competitors is a red flag.\u00a0<\/p>

                          • There is ALWAYS competition
                            • If there isn\u2019t, there\u2019s probably not a market<\/li>
                            • Who is in the market and how do you compare to them?<\/li>

                                    Not every business has a social impact, but it can be helpful to bring one up if you have one. Many states have a \u201csocial equity\u201d component and you should address it in your pitch.\u00a0 Additionally, we often say at Cannabis Legalization News & the Talking Hedge \u2013 check out both podcasts \u2013 that \u201call cannabis is local\u201d so having a benefit for your community should be a part of your plan.\u00a0<\/p>
