🎤 The 30-Second Opportunity
Imagine you step into an elevator and see a famous investor. You have exactly 30 seconds before the doors open at their floor. This is your chance to deliver the perfect Elevator Pitch.
To succeed, you need a powerful hook to grab their attention immediately. You must clearly explain your value proposition—what problem you solve and why your solution is better. This often involves highlighting your USP (Unique Selling Point).
Investors are busy, so be concise. They want to know if your business model is scalable (can it grow big?) and if you have any existing traction, such as user numbers or sales. If you are persuasive enough, they might ask to see your full pitch deck later.
Finally, never leave without a Call to Action. Ask for their card or a meeting!
