While you may have to compete with Elon Musk, an asteroid mining company could be incredibly profitable! Pretend you are the CEO of a new startup asteroid mining company. It’s a very expensive business to start, so you need to raise $600 million dollars from investors. Fortunately there is a Zoom meeting happening next month with major space investors, and you have been invited! Prepare a business pitch to present to these potential investors. Your pitch should:
- Introduce your company
- Explain what materials you will focus mining efforts on, and why
- Show projected expenses (what will you need to buy to start this company, and how much will it cost?)
- Show projected earnings (how much do you expect to earn? why/how?)
- Build investor confidence in you and your team (who is part of your company? Why are you the right people to get the job done?)
