Curious to hear everyone's favorite strategy to pitch to investors. I've done a few with evoke-app.com, but we were too early in our stage.

We don't, we just, explain what we are trying to do then go into a discussion 😄 We've never pitched on a meeting, we only pitch on pitching events. Ask questions: What do you know about us? Have you tried Collabwriting yet and why not? What you wanna know? Then go into a discussion. I don't really know if this is a way to go, but it makes the discussion a two way stream.
Shaan Puri had a great video with the actual pitch deck, just a few weeks ago Really inspiring information.

Although it can be intimidating, making a pitch to investors is a crucial step in acquiring money for many firms. I always begin my pitch to investors with a succinct and straightforward overview of my business concept and the problem it addresses. I make certain to draw attention to any distinctive qualities or competitive advantages we have. Having a clear knowledge of your target market and the possible magnitude of your market opportunity is also crucial. Of course, you should be able to provide statistics and proof to support your statements. Practice my pitch in front of people and ask for feedback has proven to be helpful for me in improving it and making it as engaging as possible.

What do you mean exactly in terms of 'how do you pitch'? What the pitch-deck includes, how you initially set up the first meeting ... ?

Here are some key points to consider when pitching: 1. story - Share how your product solves a problem or meets a need in the market. Use real examples and statistics to support your argument. 2. team - Introduce each member of your team and explain why they're qualified to lead your venture. Emphasize their relevant skills and experience. 3. financials - Outline your projected revenue, expenses, and profit margins. Be prepared to provide supporting documents such as financial statements, market research reports, and any other relevant data. 4. traction - Demonstrate how your product has gained customer interest and feedback through beta testing, pilot programs, or similar initiatives. 5. investor concerns - Anticipate common objections raised by potential investors and address them head-on during the pitch.
