The first 5 seconds of your pitch matter more than the next 5 minutes. Most founders lose opportunities because they start with: ❌ Their company name ❌ Their job title ❌ A long explanation of what they do Nobody buys because of information. People buy because they quickly understand: ✔ Why this matters ✔ Who it’s for ✔ Why they should keep listening The opening of your pitch should create curiosity and certainty. Instead of introducing yourself, introduce the problem you solve. Because if you don’t capture attention in the first few seconds, the rest of your pitch may never get heard. Your first sentence is not an introduction. It’s an invitation to the conversation. What’s the first line of your pitch right now?
