Build a Pitch Deck for a Proptech Startup Solving Estate Agent Fraud in Nigeria

In Nigeria, anyone can call themselves a property agent. There is no mandatory licensing, no public register, no consequences for taking multiple tenants' caution fees and disappearing. The Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) exists, but its reach into the informal agency market is minimal. Tenants in Lagos and Abuja routinely lose between one and three months' rent to fraudulent or negligent agents every year. Several startups have tried to solve adjacent problems (rental listings, lease management, rent financing) but the agent accountability problem remains largely unaddressed. The opportunity is real: there are millions of renters who would pay a premium, or accept slightly worse economics, to transact with a verified, accountable agent. There are also legitimate agents who would benefit from a platform that distinguishes them from fraudsters. Your task is to produce a 12 to 16 slide pitch deck for a startup that addresses this problem directly. The deck should cover the problem and evidence for its scale, your proposed solution and how it works, the business model (how you make money), your go-to-market approach starting in one city, the competitive landscape, your founding team assumptions, and a funding ask with a clear use of funds. You may invent the founding team, but the financials and market assumptions must be based on real or reasonably estimated data. The deliverable is a PDF or Figma/Google Slides deck with speaker notes on each slide. Judges will assess whether the business model is coherent, whether the problem framing is specific and evidenced, and whether the proposed solution actually addresses agent accountability rather than working around it. A deck that looks polished but proposes a solution a Nigerian renter would not actually trust will score poorly.
