How to pitch your startup in 30 seconds Every entrepreneur wants to pitch their idea quickly, but most pitches either assume too much or overload with details. A great pitch isn’t about explaining everything—it’s about sparking interest. Instead of focusing on your solution, structure your pitch like a movie trailer using the Hero’s Journey framework. Your customer is the hero, their problem is the villain, and you are the guide offering a powerful gift—your product—to help them succeed. Follow a simple three-act structure: 1. Set the context by describing the customer’s ordinary world. 2. Introduce a triggering event that disrupts their status quo and presents challenges. 3. Tease your unique solution, highlighting its impact without over-explaining. For example: "When entrepreneurs get hit with a big idea, they struggle to communicate it. They would normally write a 60-page business plan, but those take too long and no one reads them. So we built a tool that helps them clearly convey their vision in under 20 minutes, securing buy-in faster and focusing on building rather than planning." The goal is to make them curious, not to explain everything. A compelling pitch makes them want to know more, leading to a demo or a referral. Try this approach and refine your pitch for maximum impact.

. The movie trailer analogy is spot on - you're not trying to close the deal in 30 seconds, just create enough intrigue that they want the full story. My funding conversations now start with genuine curiosity rather than polite nodding.

The Hero's Journey works great for general audiences but falls flat with technical experts who want specifics. The best pitch framework is modular - have your core value proposition ready, then adapt the supporting elements based on who you're talking to and what they care about

The Hero's Journey framework is great for sales pages and marketing, but in a pitch setting, you're competing for attention among dozens of other startups. I've judged over 200 pitch competitions, and the winners almost always use a direct formula: 'We help [specific customer] solve [specific problem] by [unique approach] unlike [current alternatives].' The movie trailer approach feels clever but wastes precious seconds on narrative when investors need clarity. Save the storytelling for your deck.
