Overview
Led the business strategy, branding, financial modeling, and pitch deck development for Veexia, a nutritional supplement brand aimed at transforming Egypt’s market. Through comprehensive market research and a detailed financial model, I helped develop the foundation for a successful business launch. The pitch deck I created played a crucial role in securing the necessary investment, ensuring that the company could successfully launch and grow.
Challenges & Solutions
Veexia aimed to fill the gap in Egypt’s nutritional supplement market by offering a high-quality, locally-sourced product at a competitive price. However, a strong financial plan and convincing investor presentation were critical to launching the brand.
I conducted a thorough competitor analysis and developed a detailed financial model, accurately forecasting launch costs and projected ROI. The pitch deck I created based on this model was instrumental in securing the investment required to bring the product to market. The financial model’s accuracy, combined with the compelling investor presentation, led to lower-than-expected costs and higher-than-anticipated revenue, driving the business’s success.
