The SECRET Ingredient to The PERFECT PITCH: How to tell a compelling STORY | Dose 035

Startups struggle to raise because they're pitching, but not telling a compelling story.

In this Dreamit Dose, Steve Barsh, Managing Partner at Dreamit, reveals why most startup pitches fall flat and how to describe your startup idea. Far too often founders are in pitch-mode instead of focusing on telling investors your story. What is the most effective way to explain your startup to VCs? Many of the best pitches center around building a convincing narrative to clearly explain your startup idea, the value you create, and your potential. This Dose can serve as your high-level pitch framework or startup description example template. If you’re struggling to explain your startup idea or failing to convince others to buy in when describing your startup, consider incorporating these startup storytelling techniques. Explaining your startup isn’t often straightforward or easily understood which is where storytelling your idea can help. This video covers how to describe a startup and storytelling for pitch deck presentions. Check out other related Dreamit Dose fundraising videos below. That’s the art of startup storytelling in a short 10-minute Dose!
