72/100

Almost Ready

This pitch shows good market understanding and promising traction. Numbers are present but sometimes lack context. Structure is solid but the conclusion could be more impactful. With adjustments to the hook and call-to-action, this pitch will be investor-ready.

Strengths

•Traction clearly demonstrated with precise metrics
•Problem well articulated with concrete examples
•Deep knowledge of market and competition
•Team presented with credibility

Areas to Improve

•Hook too generic, lacks punch
•Financial ask not specific enough (use of funds)
•Too much time on technical solution, not enough on business model
•Abrupt conclusion without clear call-to-action

4-Pillar Analysis

Clarity

7.5/10

Message generally clear but some technical passages could be simplified for non-experts.

Strengths

• Vocabulary adapted to investors
• Concrete examples illustrating the problem
• Numbers presented clearly

To improve

• Some technical terms unexplained
• Value proposition could be more concise
• Too many details on technical architecture

Suggested rewrite

Before:

"Our solution uses a proprietary ML algorithm with microservices architecture..."

After:

"Our technology automatically analyzes data in 10 seconds instead of 2 hours manually."

Impact

6.8/10

Numbers are present but the initial hook lacks punch. The 'wow moment' comes too late.

Strengths

• Solid traction metrics (340% growth)
• Market size well dimensioned
• Effective comparison with competition

To improve

• Opening hook too generic
• Most impressive number arrives at minute 3
• No memorable customer story

Suggested rewrite

Before:

"Hello, I'm the founder of TechCorp and we develop a solution for businesses..."

After:

"In 2023, companies lost $2B because of this problem. TechCorp solves it in 10 seconds."

Structure

7.8/10

Good logical progression but transitions could be smoother. Conclusion lacks force.

Strengths

• Classic and effective plan (Problem → Solution → Traction → Ask)
• Timing well respected (5 minutes)
• Clean, readable slides

To improve

• Sometimes abrupt transitions
• Too much time on team slide
• Conclusion without recap of key points

Suggested rewrite

Before:

"That's it, thank you. Questions?"

After:

"To summarize: $2B market, 340% growth, experienced team. We're raising $500K to reach $1M ARR in 18 months. Let's schedule a call this week."

Conviction

7.2/10

Good overall energy but some hesitations on financial projections. Tone could be more assertive.

Strengths

• Visible passion for the project
• Eye contact maintained
• Confident answers to questions

To improve

• Some 'ums' and 'maybes' to eliminate
• Hesitation on burn rate question
• Less assertive tone on projections

Suggested rewrite

Before:

"We think we could maybe reach $1M ARR..."

After:

"Our goal is $1M ARR in 18 months. Here's how we get there..."

Key Moments

2:15Strength

"We achieved 340% growth in 12 months with zero marketing budget."

Excellent moment - this number combined with no marketing budget shows strong product-market fit.

Suggestion: Move this moment earlier in the pitch (within the first minute) to captivate immediately.

0:30To improve

"Hello, my name is John and I'm going to present our startup..."

Too conventional opening that doesn't capture attention. Investors already have your bio.

Suggestion: Start with the problem or a shocking stat. Personal intro can come after.

3:45Strength

"Our client Walmart reduced costs by 40% in 3 months."

Concrete customer case with quantified results - very convincing for investors.

Suggestion: Develop this story: what was the initial problem? How did you win this client?

4:50To improve

"That's it, thank you very much. Do you have any questions?"

Abrupt conclusion without recap or call-to-action. Investor doesn't know what to do next.

Suggestion: End with a 3-point summary and clear ask: 'I propose a 30-min call this week.'
