I personally think an elevator pitch is more important to get right than a pitch deck! That very first point of contact. Can you clearly and succinctly describe your business in under 60 seconds? Ideally, 30 seconds? Too many founders I meet ramble on for too long and focus on their current product, opposed to the problem they are looking to solve. Top Tip: Practise your elevator pitch relentlessly. Practise it on everyone you meet. Even your family! Get your whole team to practice it. Focus on perfecting a short, impactful pitch. It’s your key to opening doors and sparking interest. Remember, you’re not trying to close the deal there and then; you’re only trying to get investors interested enough to want to learn more. It was a pleasure to be featured in SeedLegals latest e-book and give some thoughts about raising investment.
