You should also explain the steps you are going to take to organically increase the user base in the future.
You should appraise the investor about the different paid acquisition channels you will use to market your app.
The growth map of your app

Give a detailed breakdown of the number of active users; it could be on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
You should also tell what the likely retention rate of the app is and how you are going to achieve it.
The monetisation strategy
