This document provides advice for pitching an idea or business to investors in 3 sentences or less: Pitch with confidence and focus on traction if you have it; explain the problem, who it affects, and how your solution is better, faster and cheaper; ask for advice to get money or introduce contacts, but have an elevator pitch, 3-minute pitch, and 20-minute presentation ready that focuses on the problem, solution, business model and team.
