Since the dawn of time, mankind have sought to make things smaller. But until now, you definitely don't want to pitch like that. Um, here's a great video also from Y Combinator that'll help you understand a little bit about what people are looking for in a pitch. The most important thing and it'll sound obvious but clarity. You'd be shocked. how few pitches are sensible.

First, don't think about it like a pitch. I think founders too often think about this. Like comical, like, Hey, now let me tell you about this great idea. That's not that's not how that's not what a pitch pitch is really is the most concise way to describe your business and why it should be interesting to, you know, to the person sitting across the table. It's shocking how many pitches, I don't really understand. And they're never the good companies.

If you really spent a lot of time in it, if you really have a big new insight, and you're really thoughtful about it usually only takes a couple of sentences to paint that picture in someone else's head. What I realized through so many interviews is that fundamentally like the founders who are straightforward, who are just answering the question that's provided, and who if they don't know they say, they don't know, they go a lot further. can I explain this in plain words that anyone can understand? And that I really think that there's a, if there's any pitch that you cannot explain in plain words, there's a it's really bad side easiest way To do this as a founder is you should say, one or two lines about your company to somebody, don't tell them your founder, and then see if they can repeat back what the company does.

One of the things that we teach when presenting on Demo Day, and one of things that I harp on specifically is that just because you're given a couple minutes to speak, doesn't mean you should take it all. And the impact of your words go up, the fewer words you say. So the best companies are able to really explain things in a concise manner, stay on track, and when they don't know something, they say they don't know it, usually a good interview or a good pitch. You start off like open minded. And then if the founder is able to tell a good story, and they're able to present a narrative that makes sense, you fall you you go with them wherever they're going to go. And if you find yourself falling into the story, and like not looking at the time or not like if all of a sudden all everything falls away and you're going with them on the story, just like a good movie or something, right?

That's a good pitch. A good interview works like a conversation, where you teach us something and convince Software you're working on can be a multi billion dollar company and a bad interview looks like anything else.
