'I Am Your New Dumbest Friend!' Watch the Head-Spinning Pitch That Left Investors Stunned. On this episode of 'Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch,' one contestant shares a brilliant idea. But is it a money-maker?
Key Takeaways
- Your pitch needs to give investors solid information with a hint of mystery to make them want to hear more.
- If you are pitching with a partner, investors want to know that you have clearly defined roles and a decision-making process.
- The golden rule when it comes to getting an investor's attention? Don't be boring!
Think about this: every contestant who has the guts to appear on Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch is just 60 seconds away from a rise to greatness or a fall from glory. By the end of these nerve-wracking episodes, some entrepreneurs will walk away with game-changing investments, and some will go home empty-handed. Breaking out in a cold sweat yet?
And here's the thing: even if you have what it takes to deliver a solid, confident pitch, that's just the first hurdle. Our panel of investors is eager to see the next big thing, but they're not shy about asking tough questions. One contestant has their leadership style called into question, and another is asked to make a decision on the spot that would result in a big investment — but also would fundamentally change their business.
