YouTube - The Elevator Pitch

YouTube - The Elevator Pitch:

Here's a little video (is it funny?) talking about elevator pitches....

"The CBC's business reality series, Dragons' Den, is where contestants pitch their business ideas to 5 multimillionaire investors in an effort to acquire the funding they need to make their business come to life. The way to succeed is to master the 'elevator pitch.' Mentor Capitalist, Sean wise explains how."




Now, how about some real elevator pitches.... have a look at this on techcrunch!

"About TechCrunch Elevator Pitches

Elevator Pitches is a community video project by TechCrunch that allows entrepreneurs to pitch their startups to the general public. Our visitors then have a chance to comment and vote on the pitches they like the most or least.

If you are interested in submitting a pitch, please create a video no longer than 60 seconds in length. A technology startup's CEO or founder should use that time to explain the company's products and how they are intended to make money.

Imagine you're in an elevator and have only one chance to convince a VC or executive that you deserve a follow-up meeting. Be sure to focus on your company's big picture while avoiding too much detail about particular products.

Please upload your video to YouTube, tag it with "tcpitch", and then enter its information into our submission form. In addition to following the specifications above, please do not include any editing or graphic overlays - just a straight pitch from beginning to end."
