iPhone App Helps Pitch Your 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 say. To prepare for these situations, entrepreneurs, salespeople and evangelists frequently prepare a so-called 'Elevator Pitch.': a short 30-second pitch designed to start a conversation about their product or service they offer.

The ElevatorPitch iPhone application helps users to make the best of their elevator pitches. Practice: the user can use the built-in countdown clock to perfect their pitch timing. Show: the user 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: the user can memorize and fine-tune an elevator pitch with the handy note-keeping function. And all of that in less than 30 seconds or the time an elevator ride takes.

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.
