I have these well covered. The seemingly impenetrable VC wall hasn't really opened for a listen yet but this is very encouraging. The proposal's K factor is certainly viral in nature. Thank you for providing me with a stronger pitch outline. I once fumbled "an elevator pitch" opportunity with a VERY successful VC. It wasn't the engineering or concept that failed me. She was definitely enthralled. She was checking up on me on her smartphone and asking lots of very specific questions (it was over lunch). It was my absence of facility with the language of business (even though I aced Econ in college) that put up the VC firewall. She was absolutely right, I clearly wasn't ready for her. That won't ever happen again. Probably because it won't ever happen again. I will never forget the lesson though. Fortune favors the prepared.
I was involved with Internet Marketing in the days of Mark Joyner, a pioneer multimillionaire product developer, and learned these principles then though they did not have the NfX lingo I see here.
Mostly it happens in the early stage. When we were in YC we had this growth rate till demo day. Pre-seed & seed stage startups mostly have 0-50k mrr I guess.
This was exactly what I needed, at exactly when i needed it! Thanks for this concise jam-packed video.
This is what founders rarely get told or get to understand. Greatly appreciated thank you.

What do you think about OKR and that agile stuff?
🤩 Promo-SM.
Which start-up grows at 50% compounded, 100k mrr turns into 15B mrr. over 2 years. You are misleading founders.
