🚀 Investors hear countless pitches daily, making it easy for them to forget most of them. Here's how to make your pitch unforgettable: 🔹 Tell a Story: Unlike a standard pitch, a compelling story sticks. Stories resonate and linger in the minds of listeners. 🔹 Human Connection: Remember, businesses are run by people and aim to solve problems for people. Finding common ground through shared experiences or values creates a lasting impact. 🔹 Memorability: Stories create an emotional connection, making your pitch more memorable and engaging. This approach can significantly increase your chances of standing out to VCs. 🔹 Cross-Stage Appeal: Whether you're pitching to early-stage investors or seasoned VCs, a well-crafted story will capture their attention and leave a lasting impression. Connect with your audience on a human level, solve real problems, and make your pitch one that investors won't forget. 🌟 #StartupAdvice #PitchPerfect #VCInsights #StorytellingInBusiness Nitin Pachisia

Are you watching any business video content? How can you make "business" more "interesting"? The current business training and video market is divided into 2 parts. First -> Business gurus selling unattainable dreams of getting rich quickly and easily Second -> Big investors with boring accelerators... Snoozefest. And to be frank, most of the advice from big brands and gurus is not applicable to small businesses and start-ups. So my question to you is - how do we make business more interesting for younger people? Thoughts?

What 51 Pitches Didn't Prepare Me For 👀 Back in the pitching arena as an early-stage founder, and guess what? You'd think after getting 51 people to sign off on my pitches and winning prize money from the same competition twice, I'd have it all figured out. Wrong. It was a mess 🫠 My pitch deck had too much information, making them hard to follow. When I spoke, I rambled instead of being clear. Looking back, I can see what needs to get better. The biggest problem? I tried to talk about too many solutions at once. This made my main message unclear. This brought up a tough choice: Should I focus on pitching just one solution, or talk about my whole company? 🤔 Maybe it's best to have both ready. Like a toolbox, you'll need different types of pitches for different situations. I am grateful to Dr. Shehnaz and her students for providing this valuable learning platform. Sometimes you need a sandbox to rebuild and refine. 🙏 Names and photos of the students have been blurred for privacy. #StartupLife #EntrepreneurshipJourney
