LastVet Investor Pitch — Speaker Notes

Slide 01

Open quietly and let the second line carry the weight. Don't over-explain. 'LastVet is a parallel healthcare system, built for the veterans the existing one fails.' Then go straight into the problem — your lived experience is the strongest opening you have.

Slide 02

This is the moat: lived experience. Read the quote slowly, then land 'Nothing was resolved.' Note it's your own call, in your own care. Don't rush to the solution — let the room sit in the failure for a beat.

Slide 03

Make it concrete and exhausting — this is the maze every veteran walks. Then deliver the reframe: it's not broken, it's working as designed to keep control inside institutions. That reframe is what justifies building outside the system.

Slide 04

The philosophical core. You're not a reform play or a VA vendor — you're building a parallel system where sovereignty is the architecture. Investors who nod here are your people; investors who flinch at 'build outside it' are the filter working.

Slide 05

Now show the product. The three pillars: veteran-controlled VA data, source transparency with full audit, and a provider portal that can WRITE to the record with consent. After this slide, offer the live demo: 'want to see it?' and show 60 seconds on your phone.

Slide 06

Zoom out to the full vision. Six revenue subsidiaries orbit the platform; each one replaces an extractive middleman (PBM, insurer, CCN contractor). This is what makes it an economy, not an app — and why Phase 1 (provider portal) is just the wedge.

Slide 07

Credibility. Most pre-seed decks show mockups; you show a shipped system, a real VA case number, and a CARIN attestation. When investors push on regulatory risk, this slide plus the Faltz/Leavitt letter is your shortcut — few startups have one this early.

Slide 08

Timing is everything for a parallel-system bet. Six regulatory and market shifts converged in 24 months that make this buildable now and weren't true before. End on urgency: the opening exists and no one has executed against it yet.

Slide 09

Phase 1 is real, fundable revenue. Five tiers, most providers land on Pro ($99). Walk the MRR/ARR ramp and land the key line: the provider portal alone funds the team that builds the rest of the ecosystem. Conservative on revenue by design.

Slide 10

The second Phase 1 revenue line and the structural wedge: first-party telehealth where the visit happens inside the record. California first (MSO/PC), then Texas. Year-3 national projection is $46M ARR — but the near-term ask only funds California.

Slide 11

Show the compounding shape, not specific numbers — the spreadsheet lives in the data room. Each layer enables the next: provider portal -> care -> insurance -> pharmacy -> federal. If they want the model, that's the Revenue Strategy diligence artifact.

Slide 12

This slide separates aligned investors from misaligned ones — on purpose. The red line is non-negotiable: veterans are never the product. Governance (Bible, nonprofit, subsidiary structures) makes it structural, not aspirational. Let mission-aligned capital self-select.

Slide 13

Second-most-important slide after the problem. Keep it short and let conviction carry it. Some Tier 1 investors commit on the founder alone — a veteran building the mission, not just software. Swap the ring placeholder for a real headshot before sending externally.

Slide 14

Close with the concrete ask: $1.5M, 18 months, 60% to hires. Walk the closing targets so they see exactly what the round buys and the Series A setup. Name the lead profile so the right investor leans in. End on the contact and ask for the next meeting.
