Advice for your pitches

• Focus on the key components of the business

model, and highlight the key financial #s

– Can you clearly explain how your business works? How it

makes money? How it generates social/environmental

change?

• Comfortably stick to the time allotment

– In your practice, aim to deliver your presentation in 10-11

minutes

• Anticipate the investor questions

what would you care to know about the business model?

What Motivates The Social/Environmental

Entrepreneur?

“…it was an epiphanal experience…”

Ray Anderson, Interface Carpets“I heard the same story again and again.

Someone had experienced an intense kind of pain that branded them in some way. They said, „I had’ to do

this. There was nothing else I could do.”

Jody Jensen, Ashoka

“I was teaching in one of the universities while the country was suffering from a severe famine. People were dying of

hunger, and I felt very helpless. As an economist, I had no tool in my toolbox to fix that

kind of situation.”Mohammed Yunus, Grameen Bank

“…that made a real impression on me…”

Jeff Skoll, eBay, Skoll Foundation, etc.
