| You'll likely have much better results if you: (1) Target your pitch more by joining specific niche communities in your vertical, get to know people there, and ask one of them who is well-connected to get you an introduction, which will allow you to give them a verbal elevator pitch. If they like it then you can send them a pitch deck. (2) If you still want to do a broadcast style pitch on here, put your elevator pitch in your post with some key details in bullets afterward, ending with a call to action and a link to your startup's website on a domain name you've gotten for your startup. I've no desire to download and open a PowerPoint deck off of Dropbox from someone I don't know, and I suspect I am not alone. (3) And perhaps most important, build an MVP (or at least a proof of concept) before you start pitching. You may have already done this, but I'm assuming not because I didn't see a link to a website with your MVP or POC. If you have built this, and don't have it available, then you are missing out on one of the biggest values from it - customer feedback/validation, aka pivot instructions. 5 Helpful tools when creating a highly effective pitch deck: [1] https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-pitch-deck-examples [2] https://guykawasaki.com/the-only-10-slides-you-need-in-your-...
