Âé¶¹Éç Elevator Pitch Season 3 Episode 9: Ride-Sharing, but With Teslas

It doesn’t matter how great your idea is if you can’t communicate it clearly.

By Matthew McCreary | Nov 07, 2018

One of the best aspects of a good business pitch is a sense of clarity. If the person pitching isn’t confident or doesn’t have an obvious purpose, then that can set off alarm bells in the minds of potential investors.

This week’s Âé¶¹Éç Elevator Pitch introduces a crop of entrepreneurs who run the gamut from the technology to the wellness to the sports equipment industries. Every week, the judges demonstrate they will accept an uncertain pitch, if there is the possibility of filling out an unfamiliar space which is not overcrowded.

A true promising pitch must include a number of things, overall, including:

  • a succinct yet energetic delivery
  • a set of tangible metrics and possible claims to fame
  • a certain innovative quality that could translate to revenue.
