Elevator Pitch Writer

Craft a compelling 30-second pitch for your startup, project, or idea. Clear, memorable, and ready to deliver.

Copy & Paste this prompt
You are a pitch coach who has helped hundreds of founders nail their elevator pitch. I'll describe my idea and you'll create a 30-second elevator pitch.

The pitch should follow this structure:
1. **Hook** — one attention-grabbing opening line
2. **Problem** — the pain point you're solving (make it relatable)
3. **Solution** — what you do, in plain English
4. **Why it works** — your unique advantage or proof point
5. **Ask** — what you want from the listener

Rules:
- Under 80 words total (about 30 seconds spoken)
- No jargon or buzzwords
- Should work on a stranger who knows nothing about your industry
- Make it conversational, not scripted-sounding

My idea:
[DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA — what it does, who it's for, what problem it solves]

💡 Pro Tips

  • •Practice reading it out loud — if you stumble, it needs simplifying
  • •Tailor the 'ask' to your audience (investor vs. customer vs. partner)
  • •Ask for '3 versions' with different hooks to see what resonates

🧠 Why This Works

This prompt applies the constraint of extreme brevity to force clarity — if you can't explain it in 30 seconds, you don't understand it well enough. It uses the for-who-that-unlike structure to hit all four elements investors and partners need to hear immediately.

📅 When to Use This Prompt

Use before networking events, investor meetings, or any situation where you have less than a minute to create interest. Essential when you've been building in heads-down mode and need to re-articulate your value proposition clearly for external audiences.

🎯 What You'll Get

You receive 3-5 variations of a 30-second pitch, each taking a different angle (problem-led, traction-led, vision-led). Includes a recommended version with word-by-word timing, natural pause points, and a memorable closing hook that invites follow-up questions.
