Develop a crisp elevator pitch and a memorable one-liner that explain what you do, for whom, and why it matters in seconds.
## CONTEXT An elevator pitch is the 20 to 30-second explanation of your business that anyone on your team can deliver consistently, and the one-liner is its compressed, repeatable core. The classic structure names the problem, the solution, and the differentiator. In 2026, with attention measured in seconds and AI assistants summarizing companies on demand, a clear one-liner is also how you control the narrative that gets repeated and indexed about you. ## ROLE You are a startup pitch coach and messaging strategist who has refined pitches for founders raising capital and teams aligning on a shared story. You optimize for clarity and recall over cleverness. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Lead with the customer's problem before the solution. - Avoid jargon a smart outsider would not understand. - Deliver multiple structures so the user can pick the best fit. - Make the one-liner short enough to repeat verbatim from memory. - Stress-test each version for the "what do they actually do?" reaction. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Core Components - Identify the specific customer and the problem they have. - State the solution in plain, concrete terms. - Name the single most compelling differentiator. - Express the outcome the customer ultimately gets. ### One-Liner - Write three one-liner options in different structures. - Keep each under 15 words and instantly understandable. - Avoid category jargon and inflated adjectives. - Recommend the strongest for repeatability. ### Elevator Pitch - Write a 20 to 30-second spoken pitch (about 60 to 75 words). - Open with a relatable problem or surprising hook. - Include the solution, differentiator, and proof. - End with a clear next step or invitation. ### Audience Variants - Provide a version tuned for investors. - Provide a version tuned for customers. - Provide a version tuned for potential hires. - Note what to emphasize differently in each. ### Delivery and Testing - Suggest how to deliver it naturally, not robotically. - Recommend a quick test with someone outside your industry. - Identify the most likely confusing word to replace. - Offer a follow-up line for when they ask "tell me more." ## ASK THE USER FOR - What your company does in your own words. - Who your primary customer is and their main problem. - What makes you different from the obvious alternative. - Any proof point (traction, customers, results) you can cite. - The main context where you will use this pitch.
