ElevatorPitch
The ElevatorPitch iPhone App helps entrepreneurs like YOU pitch their startup.
"Have you ever been at a loss of words when it mattered most?". This is the exact situation entrepreneurs fear most: accidentally running into a potential investor in the elevator but not knowing what to day. To prepare for these situations, entrepreneurs, salespeople & evangelists frequently prepare a so-called 'Elevator Pitch.': a short 30-second pitch designed to start a conversation about their product or service.
The ElevatorPitch iPhone application helps you to make the best of your elevator pitches. PRACTICE: you can use the built-in countdown clock to perfect your pitch timing. SHOW: you can store an image in the iPhone App because having a product image ready at the touch of a button is worth a thousand words. TELL: you can memorize and fine-tune an elevator pitch with the handy note-keeping function.
WHAT IS AN ELEVATOR PITCH?
An elevator pitch is an overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The name reflects the fact that an elevator pitch should be possible to deliver in the time span of an elevator ride, meaning in a maximum of 30 seconds and in 130 words or fewer.
The term is typically used in the context of an entrepreneur pitching an idea to a venture capitalist or angel investor to receive funding. Venture capitalists often judge the quality of an idea and team on the basis of the quality of its elevator pitch, and will ask entrepreneurs for the elevator pitches to quickly weed out bad ideas and weak teams.
A variety of other people, including entrepreneurs, project managers, salespeople, evangelists, policy-makers, job seekers, and speed daters commonly use elevator pitches to get their point across quickly.
USE CASES
Entrepreneurs are always looking for opportunities to pitch their startup in order to raise venture capital. With the ElevatorPitch iPhone App the budding entrepreneur is always ready to whip out his iPhone and support his elevator pitch with visuals such as screenshots or product images.
Salespeople can use the ElevatorPitch iPhone App to practice their customer pitches. They can use the countdown function to practice their pitch timing and keep a few reminder notes to make sure they consistently deliver their USPs.
Project management is often more about gathering support for ideas than it is about managing people. A consistently delivered elevator pitch can be a great weapon in convincing key stakeholders. With the ElevatorPitch iPhone App in their pocket, project managers are ready to deliver a convincing pitch anytime.
UPDATE GUARANTEE
The version currently available in the iTunes store is fairly minimalist and represents a MVP or minimal viable product. The application was built with agile development in mind and frequent user feedback is encouraged. The introductory price was kept especially low to encourage early user feedback. A first upgrade based on user feedback is scheduled to be submitted for appstore approval 2 weeks after initial release. Future upgrades will be FREE.
