Description
Learn to do an elevator pitch in 1-sentence instead of the typical 60-seconds, and expand that into a full investor pitch deck presentation.
In your career as an entrepreneur, you will pitch your business many times per day, every day.
“If you can’t explain something to a 5-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.” – Einstein
CLEAR AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IS A SIGN OF YOUR PROFESSIONALISM
Junior professionals typically pay less attention to the clarity and effectiveness of communication. As professionals gain experience, they realize that all forms of communication are important and work on improving theirs.
That makes it easy for more senior professionals, especially investors, to recognize first-time entrepreneurs. You don’t want to be cast aside because of simply not pitching your business well, but that is what happens to businesses and entrepreneurs who can’t communicate their ideas.
STOP HAVING DOORS CLOSE ON YOU
Most entrepreneurs experience investors as impatient people who don’t want to talk. The truth is that they are not bad or impatient people. They just can’t be bothered to talk to too many beginners. They are busy and their time is precious.
IMAGINE HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE IF YOU COULD SPARK INVESTOR INTEREST
If you can communicate your business clearly in a way that sparks interest and even inspires potential investors, investors and venture capitalists would gladly talk to you, would ask follow up questions, and would welcome follow up meetings. That might make the difference between being shut out and getting an investment.

Once you understand how to write a pitch deck, you will be able to create one for your start-up. There are many pitch deck examples of different businesses in the course.
