There are 9 things needed to win a pitch, and if you leave just one out the data says you will very likely get a no.
Imagine a technology with the power to literally save millions of peoples lives..
This technology sits in the mind of an entrepreneur who has a deep desire to transform the world through his tech.
He / She has likely spent decades perfecting this tech.
But most often in their pitch of some 15 minutes, the true value / strategic differences are not clearly and powerful communicated to the investors in a language they can digest and be inspired by to say yes!
Many world changing and life saving technologies never get off the ground. Not because the tech isn't great.. Not because you don't have a great team, Because the pitch wasn't great.
Think about that for a moment…
An entire ventures success often comes down to how good the pitch is in that 15 minutes…
15+ years of effort comes down to that 15 minute pitch. A win means the vision takes shape with the rite capital onboard.
A loss usually means grinding it out many more months with less and less suitable investors if they come onboard at all, and the clock is ticking on the money you do have.
You might be forgiven for thinking “surely pitching isn't all that important”…
Well..

And pitching is the number one skill required to inspire customers to say yes to you, so you can close the deals that you said you would in your pitch deck.
Pitching gets you to that next critical conversation.
