From the deck:

  Phase 2:
  7. Sell shares to MS, Oracle, IBM
  8. They do most of the Enterprise Sales

How comfortable are you that these firms do this and do this this way? MS, for example, doesn't really sell to a majority of its customers, they support VARs. And for IBM, do you mean Kendryl? Is your product a gateway to their products, generally causing a bundle to be sold? Are you familiar with firms like yours that have an arrangement where these enterprises bought shares then go sell on the startup's behalf? Note, it is indeed helpful if you can claim you're patented, but not to protect your "business model" (too many ways to work around a patent, or more likely, get it invalidated), more to suggest you have something.
