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
