Key Takeaways
- On ‘Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch,’ entrepreneurs have just 60 seconds to pitch their business.
- Success in the elevator means cash and mentoring that will change the course of contestants’ businesses and lives.
- Learn the dos and don’ts of winning an investor’s attention and trust.
Every week on Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, contestants have just one minute to win a life-changing investment for their business.
In order for a pitch to succeed, it needs to pack in a lot of information in 60 seconds: the problem the business solves, its valuation and traction, who the founders are, and what the ask is.
What shouldn’t be included in a pitch? An insult to the investors you’re pitching, as one contestant team quickly learns.
On this episode, contestants get a crash course in pitching dos and don’ts. Here are three big lessons learned:
- Investors want to support entrepreneurs, but ultimately, they want to make money. Deals need to be enticing for both sides of the equation.
- Know your numbers. Investors want to know your margins, number of SKUs, revenue, and projections. There’s no time for “ums” in the boardroom!
- Be aware of investors’ history — are you pitching someone who is invested in one of your competitors?
Watch now to find out if anyone is able to ace their elevator exam and walk out with a business-boosting deal. You never know who will rise to the top or sink to the bottom on Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch!
