Pitching is an art, and it’s not like any other.It takes practice and a good amount of dedication to master this fundamental skill. It does not come naturally to everyone, and it may seem daunting at first, but soon you will realize it is a fundamental asset to add to your toolkit and have ready when you need it! No need to worry anymore, FEM-START has you covered and ready to go with this Pitching Guide! If you’d like to see a more in-depth version, visit our membership courses, where pitching represents an entire module.
Pitching is your kickstart to growth. You will need a solid fundraising deck to raise funds and investments. It’s your chance to tell your story and make people around you part of it.
An elevator pitch, as it is often called, is a popular (almost mandatory rite of passage) method used by entrepreneurs to attract investors and get them interested in funding you! The goal is to pique the interest of the audience enough so that you get a follow-up and more in opportunities.
There are different types of pitching. As our courses present, we recognise 4 typical elevator pitching techniques:
This is usually a 30-second pitch, in the form of one concise sentence.
This is usually a one-minute pitch that gives you enough time to describe your company and goals.
A general pitch allows you to present yourself, and give some figures, statistics and success marks. This is usually common at pitching competitions.
A pitch with a slide deck, common in investors’ meetings, allows you to present yourself in more depth, and present your company and team as well as what you have achieved and/or plan to achieve. You can also give a better sense of the identity of your start-up.
You need to show investors your ambitions and perspectives for your company’s growth!
Now that you know all the basics to pitching and all the important dos and don’ts, you are ready to go and rehearse! Practice makes perfect! Remember to be confident and yourself, as this is a large part of the work! If you don’t believe in yourself or your idea, that you do not highlight why it works and why you believe in it, no investors will either! Show them how truly revolutionary your idea is, investors will believe it too!
