The “Say-It-So-They-Get-It” Elevator Pitch Prompt
(60 seconds / ~150 words)

Suggested Prompt (copy/paste):

You are a top-tier venture investor with pattern recognition across hundreds of successful startups.

Using the website copy or investor pitch deck provided below, create a 60-second elevator pitch (maximum 150 words) for an investor I meet in person or in an Uber.

Constraints and structure:

• Start with a 10–15 second hook that clearly frames a painful or expensive problem in the market.

• Tell us what the company does and why it’s different in simple, non-technical language.

• Clearly describe the outcomes customers achieve (not features or technology).

• Make the value understandable to a smart investor outside the industry.

• Why your team?

• What is the forward-looking vision or market implication?

• What do you need to grow or scale your business?

• End with a forward-looking vision or market implication, not a fundraising ask.

• Avoid buzzwords, hype, and generic claims.

• Write in my tone of voice using a confident, human, spoken tone (this will be said out loud).

Style guidelines:

• Clarity over cleverness

• Concrete over abstract

• Memorable over complete

Curiosity-boosting one-liners about you.

3. Suggested Prompt:

   “Take this data about me and create 10 powerful, memorable, and fun similes or analogies to describe who I am and what I do, aimed at someone who doesn’t know me yet. These should spark curiosity and invite follow-up questions.”

4. The initial results might be spot on or not. So, continue prompting for more until you find the one that makes you smile or say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

5. Suggested Prompt:

   “Create 10 more along the lines of #3 and #7,” depending on which ones you like best.

6. Select a few of your favorites and test them on several people to get validation. Think conversation starters, not an elevator pitch. This one-liner aims to boost curiosity in the audience while being authentically memorable.
