Here are some key elements of a Good Pitch:• Short - Less is more.• Loud and Clear - Able to create a buzz, it should be similar to a punch line. The listener can adopt

the message, you are delivering.• Succinct - Don’t drown them in details right off the bat.• Casual - Your pitch should appear authentic and relaxed. Always remember you are communicating

with investors who are much interested to see it, as a normal user and want to see the potential.• Memorable - Come up with a probable novel pitch which comprise lots of thoughts. It will prevent
