Getting Pitch Perfect

Having a great idea is just the beginning to getting your startup business off the ground.


Next comes the critical part: getting other people to buy into the promise and possibility. Here are some ideas for making your pitch unforgettable:

  • 1

    Know your story. What is the problem that you're addressing? How are you doing it? What's unique about your approach?

  • 2

    Practice. Practice. Practice. It's an obvious tip but one that can't be stressed enough.

  • 3

    Watch other pitches and learn what motivated you and what didn't.

  • 4

    Creativity counts. Audiences want something that awakens and inspires them.

  • 5

    Sell your idea as if it was a movie blockbuster. The possibilities are limitless.

  • 6

    Don't be the smartest guy / gal in the room. People appreciate humility and want to work with someone who values their talents.

  • 7

    Avoid projections. Save the predictions for later and let the idea stand on it's own.

  • 8

    Have a title and make it memorable. Make it short, impactful and especially sweet -- and invite them to come find you.
