#1: to more effectively answer the question, “What is your startup building?”
You’re about to meet a very cool company…
Yours.
In ~10 minutes, you’ll uncover compelling parts of your company story that even you may have overlooked. This isn’t about polishing a sales pitch; it’s about finding the words that make audiences, large or small, lean in and say, “Tell me more.”

Go to NotebookLM → Create a new Notebook.
Add your website URL as a single source for your Notebook.
In the right-hand Studio panel, under Deep Dive Conversation, click Generate.
After ~5 minutes, listen to the results.
Create an intro script (75-150 words) as if you were introducing your company on a podcast or to someone you just met at a networking event.
Create multiple versions tailored to different audiences and test them with real people to gauge their reactions. Ask for feedback.
Exercise B:
Curiosity-Boosting One-Liners
Open ChatGPT. → Create a new Chat.
Add your Intro Script from Exercise A to your Chat as a file or from the clipboard.
Then, use a prompt something like this:

From the results, select 1-2 of your favorites and test them with real people to gauge their reactions. Ask for feedback.
Think conversation starters, not an elevator pitch.
