The story worth telling

A first pitch video does not need to contain the whole deck. Show who struggles, what your product changes and what evidence exists today. A smaller, credible argument is easier to remember than an ambitious list of future possibilities.

Three things to capture

  1. The founder explaining the problem
  2. The current product working
  3. A clear next conversation

Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.

Give the edit a shape

01

Name the person and problem

02

Demonstrate the present solution

03

Make a specific ask

Before you share it

Verify every metric and make the status of prototypes or pilots clear.
