⇧ Action required

Now that you have confirmed your funding requirement of $12m at a valuation of $60m, you need to create your elevator pitch for VSC’s fundraise! This should mention VSC’s business in Homeland and also your planned expansion into Bigland.

Here are a few tips:

• Your elevator pitch should be no more than two minutes long.
• Assume that your audience knows nothing about you or your company.
• Start with a quick overview of VSC’s purpose and values, how you deliver them and why you are good at what you do.
• Focus on one or two key benefits of the company, rather than discussing all activities.
• Include powerful examples to provide evidence of its achievements.
• Be natural and personable throughout, without rushing your speech.
• Include both a human and business perspective.
• Make it easy to understand by avoiding jargon and buzzwords.
• Clearly state how much you need to raise and how you will use these funds.
• You may wish to create engagement at the end by asking an open question.

It is now time to set up your camera or phone and record your elevator pitch for VSC’s fundraise!

We suggest recording it at eye level in a landscape format.  Set your camera up carefully to avoid it moving around and remember to create excitement! Once completed, show it to somebody else and request their feedback!
