Elevator Pitch

– (The Hook)

1. The Elevator PitchThe 30-second quickie – borrowed from (Dave McClure)

• Short, Simple, Memorable: “What, Why.”– “We’re X for Y” is ok if 1) it’s true 2) X & Y are well-known

• Max 3 key words / phrases, 2 sentences.– “SlideShare is the world’s largest community for sharing presentations. – “TeachStreet is a place to teach or learn anything.”– “Mint.com is the free, easy way to manage your money online.”

BORROWED: Dave McClure

“ZapMeals is an online meal order & delivery service matching hungry consumers with great local food preparers.”

“We’re eBay for takeout orders.”

BORROWED: Dave McClure

2. The Problem• What is The Problem? Make it Obvious.

– “Ouch. Yeah, I have that too…”

• Who has it? How Many? How do you know? – stats, examples, research, links.

• “Painkiller not Vitamin”– Vitamins are great, but you NEED painkillers. BAD.

(note: Viagra is not a Vitamin)

BORROWED: Dave McClure
