An elevator pitch is a concise description of a company that can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (around 60 seconds). It should answer key questions like what the product is, who the market is, how the company will make money, what competition exists, and what the company's advantage is. An effective elevator pitch has four components - a hook to grab attention, brevity of under 200 words, passion from the presenter, and a request or "ask" of the listener. The document provides guidance on crafting and delivering an elevator pitch to convince others about a startup business idea.
