We’ve all heard of the ‘elevator pitch’ before. It's essentially a 30-second window for you to completely change your life. No pressure. While pitching your startup may seem like a horribly daunting task, much of it comes down to clarity, knowledge, and confidence.

Okay, so you have the person in an immobile, contained area.

Now is the time to talk money, and get into the nitty-gritty of pragmatics, logistics, etc. With time on your side, you can begin to support your statements through a proven track record through figures. More importantly, allow the investor to see the bigger picture by detailing a growth plan, and exactly how funding will put you on track. A comprehensive and developed investment plan is a determinant factor for success, and is the thesis of your pitch. Checklist:
