How Can You Use This

When pitching investors, treat the pitch as a two-way conversation. You need to be reading the room and reacting accordingly. Keep the investor engaged.

Try to incorporate demos that investors can use or use personalized examples that the investor can relate to.

Investors read thousands of pitches and get even more cold emails. Personalization is a way for you to stand out!
