How To Organize Your Pitch

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

The pitch deck is the key communication tool in startup fundraising.

Here are the key steps on  how to organize your pitch:

Start with a one-liner on your business.

State what the business does in a short and concise sentence.

This provides the basic context for the presentation.

Next, identify the key value proposition of the business.

The value proposition shows the startup's unique solution to solving the problem.

Next, identify the key values in the business.

Show the team you have built and how they have the right skills for the task at hand.

Show the revenue traction of the product to demonstrate market and product validation.

Outline the target market, making the case that it’s big enough to provide a venture outcome.

Finally, outline the fundraising ask which invites investors to participate in the business.

By providing a core context to the business, one can then show how the value proposition and values in the business point to a successful startup.

Consider these steps in organizing your pitch.

 

Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
