The best way to improve your startup pitch is to practice. Seems obvious but I'd estimate that half of the pitches I hear suffer from these simple omissions: ✔ lack of a crisp message that is not overly complicated ✔ no clear narrative or story arc, jumps around randomly ✔ no clear vision / mission expressed - doesn't feel inspirational ✔ vitamin product not a pain killer - what's really different? ✔ lack of founder / market fit Lots of other stuff is important of course (like the substance of the pitch) but these are table-stakes in any great pitch. So, on Monday April 8th in NYC, join me and Sherveen Mashayekhi (one the best pitchers that I know) to practice your pitch and receive real time feedback. I can guarantee a lively and fun spirited event 🙌🏽 Sign up ➡ https://lnkd.in/ed8ctj9t

Recently I was asked, “what are the top questions you hear from early stage founders?” 👀 Well.. there’s a lot. Starting a company comes with A TON of questions. By the time founders get to our programs, we notice the following questions often bubble up: ❓ How do I attract new partnerships and THEN create fair terms that benefit both parties? ❓How do I get my current users to pay for my product or service? ❓How can I effectively pitch to investors? While there are several tactical answers to these questions that we work to embed into our fellowship programming, one key answer stood out to me after listening to one of our Go To Market Coaches, Amirah Raveneau-Bey, facilitate a session around Strategic Partnerships. She emphasized the importance of remembering your value ✨ . This has stuck with me the past few days. A good lesson as a builder and as a person. When creating partnership agreements, think through: 🔑 What value do I bring to this partner? And, what value do they add to me? 🔑 How do I develop parameters that leverage the value offered from both sides? When working on customer acquisition strategies: 📍 What value do I bring to this customer? 📍 How can I prove to them that this value is worth paying for? When pitching to investors: 💡 What value(s) do I want them to see? 💡 What are their interests and how does my value align with those? Remembering your value can be hard, especially when you’re chasing partnerships, customers, and investors. But, you are the expert in what you are building and you have a whole lot of value to bring to the table. #visiblehands #earlystagefounders #entrepreneurship

Remember your value and tell them. That is the question that investors, customers, potential partners, candidates and many others are trying to uncover when they decide to work with you. Yes the product or resume looks good but talk about your value and make sure they hear it loud and clear. Thanks Hannah Zinn and the Visible Hands founders for sharing some highlights from the training workshop I led on strategic partnerships. Understanding the value exchange is powerful!
