Ionic Liquids: solvents of the future?

By Katie Cowen on September 19, 2018

I came across this video during my in depth online quest for a pitch that was somewhat within the allotted time an elevator pitch should take. It is just under 90 seconds (still a bit lengthy), however I found her to be keen and honest. I am by no means an expert on ionic liquids, […]

Fused Education Elevator Pitch

By Brian Haas on January 18, 2018

This is an elevator pitch for Fused Education an online education platform. It is very much a traditional elevator pitch lasting exactly 30 seconds. In the day of 2-3-minute Kickstarter pitches I thought it might be nice to critique a traditional format. No fancy images or music, just the presenter and their words.

FEEDBACK: Great elevator pitch Daniel! It was engaging, convincing, and showed your confidence in the product. The rest of your venture pitch was strong, but could have benefited from being more specific on what differentiates Beyond Disruption from the competition. I also think presenting some specific use cases (i.e, health care) for the product could help highlight its potential and capabilities.

REVIEW: Hi Scott, I really enjoyed your both your elevator pitch and venture pitch. I thought your elevator pitch was concise and as a potential investor, I had a clear understanding of the problem you saw in the market and how your product helps to solve the problem in addition to what value your product brings to the table. Looking at your venture pitch, I think we had similar ideas in terms of creating curated repositories of information already available on the web. Your product adds an additional component of artificial intelligence to help refine the recommended videos presented. Your business acumen is apparent as you outline how your product will be marketed and provide case studies to that the investor can really understand how your product fits into the existing market. I also liked how you understand that you are looking for "smart" money and that you acknowledge that you don't have all the answers. Entrepreneurs that acknowledge the help that they may need are ones that I would look more favorably upon.  All in all, a very well done presentation. Congratulations.  I would invest in this enterprise! Christopher Wong
