Can you explain what your company does in a single tweet? If not, it’s time to work on it. Write down everything you can think of, circling what is mission-critical. Structure it in a way that is compelling and makes sense. TADA! You have your first elevator pitch.
It is always safe to assume that the people hearing your pitch are not subject matter experts in the field that your startup is in. A lot of presenters get misled when they only practice with their team or family members. Come join us at Pitch Practice next Friday!
This doesn’t mean your pitch should be a stand-up routine. 🤣 Humor is best served in the context of your mistakes. There are bound to be moments when you messed up or made the wrong decision. Framing this in a humorous way will allow your audience to relate to your experiences!
Every presenter is asked this, and they almost never get it right. It's easy to lose track of time when talking about something you love (your company), but the people listening don’t have time to hear you ramble. Come join us at Pitch Practice to work on your pitch timing!
How you move is a key part of the pitch, and can differ greatly from instance to instance. Presenting to 100+ people on a large stage is very different than an intimate pitch in a confined space like an elevator. Practice for both cases to be prepared for any scenario!
Last week we had the pleasure of having another guest facilitator: @morenochris With 14 years in Real Estate and Tech, Chris is a seasoned Entrepreneur, Investor, and Advisor. Chris also has helped launch 4 startups and 2 VC Funds and had a successful exit in 2018. Thanks Chris!
"The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win." - Vince Lombardi 🏈 It’s easy to want to become an entrepreneur, it’s another thing to take steps toward that goal. What are you doing to prepare for customer/investor interactions?
Hear what Melissa had to say about her experience as Pitch Practice Facilitator!
🚨NEW FACILITATOR ALERT🚨 Join us in welcoming Melissa Heffner, Program Director for Georgia Tech's VentureLab, as one of the new Pitch Practice facilitators! Join Melissa and other fellow founders at Pitch Practice this Friday, RSVP in bio!
Your pitch deck is the cake 🍰… and you are the icing. As the age-old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Spend time on your pitch deck to add valuable infographics and figures that will allow viewers to gain a deep understanding of what your product does.
Not ready to pitch? You can still attend Pitch Practice! Taking notes on feedback given to other presenters is a great way to refine your pitch without getting up in front of everyone. Join us today at 1 PM!!
Value people's time ⏳ Making someone say to themselves “This person cares about my time” is one of the most powerful ways to make them feel valued. Practicing your pitch shows investors and customers that you understand that they're busy and don't want to waste their time.
Be an opportunity magnet 🧲 You never know when you are going to meet your next co-founder, investor, or customer. Be prepared to sell anyone on your dream idea at any time! Perfecting your pitch allows you to take advantage of serendipitous opportunities that may arise.
Clarity is key 🔑 Investors, customers, and stakeholders don’t have time for confusing pitches. If explaining your startup idea feels like showing someone an unfinished puzzle 🧩, come on down to Pitch Practice this Friday! Link in bio
Don't forget! NO Pitch Practice tomorrow! Join us the following Friday, right after Startup Chowdown at @ATLTechVillage !
Who's joining us for the first Pitch Practice of 2024!?!!?!?!?! Come one, come all to @ATLTechVillage at 1pm this Friday and kick off the new year right! w/@jaceycadet
This is an important point. A lot of the most successful people, not just in startups but in many fields, do what they do because there's something they want to exist, or some mystery they want solved, and no one else is working on it.

One of the common mistakes I see entrepreneurs make when pitching investors is regarding the ask. Too many work on getting to an investment decision in the first or second meeting, “Will you invest in us?” Instead, they should work to get the next step. davidcummings.org/2023/05/06/sel…
