What is an Elevator Pitch?

An elevator pitch is a concise and well practiced description of a business venture that you would deliver if you found yourself in an elevator with a potential investor. In 1-2 minutes, the pitch should describe:

• Your product or service
• Your market and its size
• How you plan to make money
• Your leadership team
• Your competition
• Your competitive advantage
