Startup terms you need to know in 2021 | Ankur Warikoo | Startups in Hindi | VC Lingo

“I don’t understand a lot of startup terms!” The other day I got an innocent email saying you do a lot of startup videos but I don’t understand a lot of terms you use.

Is that the case with you as well? Not to worry, in this video I’ve covered 50 startup terms explained in the simplest manner for you.

Hope this one addresses all your queries for not understanding startup terms. If you have any other term that you don’t understand of, feel free to ask me in the comments section.

I really love to add my favorite terms:

Blue Ocean Strategy: The blue ocean strategy represents the simultaneous pursuit of high product differentiation and low cost, making the competition irrelevant.

Produc-Market Fit: This Means being in a good market with a product that can satisfy that market. When an entrepreneur identifies a need in the market and builds a solution that customers want to buy, that's product-market fit.

USP (Unique Selling Point ): Also called a unique selling proposition, is a marketing statement that differentiates a product or brand from its competitors.

BTW love your content. Thanks for sharing.

Additional terms:
RoAS, Term Sheet, SHA, PE, Break-even, Bridge round, Preference shares, Debt, TG, TAM, SAM, SOM, NPS, Take rate, COGS, GM, CM, EBITDA

[sayanpaul]

Hi Ankur,

We are preparing a pitch deck and then I was confused about the content, which is why I came across your video, which was really amazing and so informative. Within 20 mins I learned so many valuable terms which would help me while we go for investing rounds.

So Ankur, on your next video, can you please share about how to prepare a perfect pitch deck ppt for startups with no seed funding or just approaching investors for the first time with no experience whatsoever.

Thanks a lot.
