Creating an effective investor pitch
A startup pitch—also called an investor presentation or business plan pitch—is an expanded version of your elevator pitch. You will have around 15 minutes to convince potential investors to take an in-depth look at your business.
The preparation for the perfect investor pitch begins long before you are invited to present. An effective investor presentation will show that you have you been spending months of hard work on hustling your business. Learn more about pitching to investors here.
