The 6 Startup Pitches Every Founder Needs

117. Cold Start Your Startup Pitch: Hook Investors from the First Second
Your Pitch is Losing Investors in the First 5 Seconds—Here’s How to Fix It!
Most founders waste the most critical part of their pitch—the opening. Investors remember the first and last things you say. But instead of making an impact, most founders start with:
“Hi, I’m [name], CEO of [company]…”
That’s a HUGE mistake.
In this episode of Feel the Boot, I show you how to cold start your pitch—a proven technique to instantly grab attention and keep investors engaged. You’ll learn:
✅ Why traditional intros weaken your pitch.
✅ How to hook your audience from the first second.
✅ The power of silence before you speak.
✅ A real-world comparison of bad vs. great pitch openings.
Want to make your pitch unforgettable? Watch now and start strong!
