    "Don't let frost bite your buns" shit I would have easily invested after hearing that clever play on words.

    Please remember this is different from an actual “elevator pitch.” In actual business, you find yourself on an elevator with the person you want to talk to. You have three floors to get them to want to talk to you further. You might see them at a party, so you have to be charming and persuasive in a brief period without seemingly accosting them! So the above video is a pitch for television or a group event where you’re pitching and you were limited to 90 seconds. Please understand the difference.

    Excellent pitch. This is the way you grasp an audience, retain their attention and gain their inquiry. Awesome job. [Burrell, Randall-04]

    Nice! Go Tigers, beat Yale!

    Should have put market TAM up front. 120k in year 5 is weak for a 19k angel round to make ROI. Think he should have addressed % of TAM...
  • It was a good pitch, but he spoke entirely too fast and didn’t take proper pauses in my opinion. I think the script was magnificent but the delivery could have been better.

    2013 must have been a bad year
  • Um, was he the only competitor? Because there is no way he should be winning any elevator pitch competition! He spoke way too fast, he looked uneasy, and he was inarticulate.
