Startup Pitch Narrative

Develop a compelling narrative pitch story for startups — beyond dry business plans. For investor presentations, accelerator applications, and startup competitions.

Prompt template

Develop a pitch narrative for the following startup:

**Startup name:** [STARTUP_NAME]
**Product / service:** [PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE]
**Industry / market:** [INDUSTRY]
**Target audience:** [TARGET_AUDIENCE]
**Problem being solved:** [PROBLEM]
**Unique solution approach (USP):** [USP]
**Stage:** [STAGE] (idea, MVP, seed, Series A)
**Pitch occasion:** [OCCASION] (e.g., investor meeting, demo day, accelerator application, elevator pitch)

Narrative structure (storytelling framework):
1. **The Hero** (60 sec): The customer, not the startup, is the hero. Describe their pain concretely and emotionally.
2. **The World Before the Solution** (30 sec): What does the situation look like today? Why do existing solutions fail?
3. **The Turning Point** (30 sec): The startup enters the scene — as a guide, not a savior. How was the idea born?
4. **The Solution** (90 sec): Concrete, understandable, visual. What happens step by step? Use a demo or analogy.
5. **The Proof** (60 sec): Traction, numbers, customer quotes, market size
6. **The Vision** (30 sec): World in 5 years if the startup succeeds
7. **The Call-to-Action** (15 sec): What are you looking for? Be specific and bold.

Additionally: Craft a one-line elevator pitch sentence (max. 25 words).
