Key Takeaways

  • It is just as important for investors to understand why you started your business as it is for them to understand what your business sells.
  • 当你让你的音调,让听众兴奋to hear more.

Welcome back toEntrepreneur Elevator Pitch.This is the first episode of season 10, and things kick off with a bang.

As longtime viewers know, this show challenges contestants to step inside our elevator, where they have just 60 seconds to pitch their company to a camera. A board of investors is watching the pitch on a monitor, and if they like what they hear, the elevator doors open. The entrepreneur steps inside the boardroom for an intense negotiation that (hopefully) ends with a life-changing investment. If the investors don't like what they hear? The elevator is sent back down to the ground floor, and the entrepreneurs leave empty-handed.
