Collection of the best tech startup pitch video

A collection of the best startup pitch video to use as a reference for your fundraise.

So you got your deck together, intros to the venture capitalist and now its time to meet in person and make the ‘pitch.’ Whoa, you’re on your way, but what does a great in person pitch look like?

no idea

Unsurprisingly, VCs don’t record in-person pitches, so the closest founders can get are pitches done on stage during demo day pitches.

This blog is a collection of the best founder pitch video on stage pulled together in one place.

Key learnings from the pitches on stage from pitch video

  • Casual and relaxed: No one is stressed out and fidgeting. They are confident and getting their message across like a boss
  • Practiced: Even if people are ‘nervous’ and uncomfortable on stage, they have practised so much they get away with it
  • Simple words: Don’t use lots of big words and buzz words (Social, local, mobile: SoMoLo)
  • Focus on you: Slides are background, they aren’t the focal point. You are the star of the show!
  • Humour: Keep people attentive with humour. Nothing makes people reach for their phone faster than boredom.
  • Cover the key points: There is a reason founders are pitching, to ‘sell’ and get the money (“Ask”)
  • Stage deck is different to a pitch deck: When you are presenting on stage, less is far more. You want to have very large header text, large emotive images and maybe even a sense of humor. What you send to investors can be more detailed. You are meant to do the talking
  • Polished graphical presentation: There are short text statements, there aren’t endless bullet points. The quality of the graphics are also high

Here is a blog I wrote about pitching for demo days: Demo day pitching guide
