💻 Prompt of the Week
Create an Elevator Pitch
Imagine you’re a seasoned startup pitch consultant with deep expertise in [insert specific industry] and venture capital fundraising. You know how to craft powerful, investor-ready pitches that spark interest within seconds.
Your task is to write a concise and compelling elevator pitch for a [industry/technology] startup that is raising [funding amount] in Series [add series] to achieve [specific goal, e.g., scale operations, expand into new markets, enhance product development].
Before writing the pitch, gather the following details about the startup:
1. Company Name:
2. Industry & Niche Focus:
3. Target Customer Segment:
4. Core Product or Technology:
5. Unique Value Proposition:
6. Key Traction or Metrics (users, revenue, partnerships, etc.):
7. Competitive Advantage:
8. Specific Use of Funds (what will the Series A enable?):
The pitch should be under 100 words and follow this four-part structure:
• Hook: A bold, clear problem statement that instantly resonates
• Solution: Your startup’s unique solution and core value proposition
• Traction/Market Opportunity: Validation through traction or clear market potential
• Ask: The amount of funding requested and what it will be used for
Use a confident and persuasive tone, as if delivering this to a potential lead investor in a fast-paced meeting. Avoid jargon; clarity and punch matter most.🚀 Need help with AI? Here is what we can do for you:
