Demo Day Prep

Sharpen a founder's demo-day pitch until the story lands and the ask is clear in the few minutes they get.

When to use

• Demo day is approaching and pitches need polish.
• A founder's story is strong but the delivery is not.

Steps

1. Anchor the pitch on one memorable line about the company.
2. Shape the arc: problem, insight, traction, and ask.
3. Cut everything that does not earn its seconds.
4. Tighten the slides to one idea each.
5. Rehearse the timing and the likely investor questions.

Output

A demo-day-ready pitch: one-line hook, tight arc, clean slides, and a rehearsed Q&A, following the [[Cohort playbook]]. Ready for the room.
