You only have 30 seconds to grab an audience’s attention and interest.
No pressure! But if you want your pitch to stand out in a short amount of time, you have to make every second count.

Believing in your start-up is the easy part – the next step is showing everyone your amazing ideas. To give you a kick start, here are 3 tips that will help you give a standout pitch, in a matter of seconds.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER
Hooking the audience in the first few lines ensures that everything you say from thereon after is going to be remembered. If you’re looking to quickly engage your audience you have to form a connection. Start off with a question, a personal remark or a display of emotion. After that, ease into your start-up plan knowing that your listeners are intrigued.
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
There’s only a finite amount of numbers and statistics the human brain can take while hearing a speech. The aim is to stay away from overloading your pitch with numbers, whilst confidently touching upon the important figures that count.
