Startup Funding Espresso – How To Wrap Up a Pitch

How To Wrap Up a Pitch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In a pitch to an investor, there's no need for an agenda slide or a summary slide. The investor knows the format of the pitch and what topics will be covered. There's little time for summarization of what was covered. To wrap up a pitch, consider the following: Show your contact information, including phone number and email address. Have a call to action so the investor knows what you expect from them. Potential calls to action include let's set up a call to discuss your questions or join our diligence meeting next week. Most startups end their pitch with a slide labeled "Questions" and little else. Use the space on the last slide to highlight a key value proposition. This could be a call out, such as "We're the A team working on the B project." It could be "Come join us in saving the planet from plastic." It could be a closed sale of a key account, such as "IBM is just the beginning of many companies we will win." Consider your most important value proposition and place a quote that highlights it. Give the investor something to remember your pitch. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact [email protected] Please follow, share, and leave a review.
