The Importance of a Great Startup Pitch
A great startup pitch is characterized by the ability to make an investor envision the future that the founder is describing. It goes beyond a simple story and becomes an exercise in world-building, making the investor feel that the future is inevitable. The pitch should focus on creating a future world that the investor wants to be a part of, rather than relying on technical details and features. One example of a successful pitch is that of Instagram's founders, who painted a vivid picture of a future where the platform was widely used. A powerful pitch is not just about facts and figures, but about inspiring the investor to believe in and contribute to the realization of the founder's vision.
