The 4Ms of my « ideal » seed startup1. MARKET: Big market opportunity
1. Pain points / People (specific segments of people suffer / lack this a lot for those reasons)
2. Size (there are a lot of people concerned, the potential market is huge & a big chunk can be yours)
3. Timing/attractivity (now is the right time to sustainably disrupt this attractive market)
4. Competition (you can outsmart existing companies/alternatives and have a clear differentiation)
2. MODEL: Disruptive & virtuous model1. Positioning / Value prop / Product (you create a disruptive, scalable, lasting,
systemic value)
2. Go-to-market / Distribution (you can get customers in ways effective for an explosive growth)
3. Monetization (this is how you monetize & make profit, and it can be big & capital efficient)
4. Defensibility (you have barriers to entry, positive/network effects & a multistep strategy to win)
3. MANAGEMENT: Best team to do it1. Stellar team (you are skilled, smart, cohesive, lean, energetic, reliable, execution-
driven…)
2. Unfair team/project fit (you are exceptionnally fitted to succeed at this project)
3. Grit, ambition, obsession (you want to build something really big, whatever it takes)

promising traction)
2. Maturity (you clearly describe done/status/plans, and your next VC round will be in ~18 months)
3. ROI (your company can become really big, it’s not too expensive and the risk/reward is attractive)
