StartupsFrom idea to funding round and exit

ELEVATOR PITCH

A 30–60 second description of your company: what you do, for whom, why it works, and why you specifically.

Why it matters

Forces you to pick one core idea that must stay in the listener’s mind after the entire conversation.

What's missing without it

Without it, the company story unravels into technical details before the audience understands the main point.

When it is used

At conferences, during first contacts, at the start of every meeting.

How we use it

One sentence: “We help [who] achieve [what], without [main obstacle].”

Fun fact

The name comes from Silicon Valley realities: that’s how long an elevator ride with an investor lasts. Legend has it that more than one funding round began right there.
