HACKING YOUR INVESTOR PITCH DECK
COMPELLING ELEVATOR PITCH
@cherylyeoh@kellyhadous
A simple formula to creating a good elevator pitch is the following:
“My company, _[company name]_, _[unique value proposition]_, is building a _[product solution]_ to solve _[problem]_, addressing the _[addressable market]_. Feel free to tweak the formula, but all the
basic elements should be there.
For example:
“My company MaGIC, that is run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, is building a
platform for high-growth and social entrepreneurs to be exposed to a regional and
global mindset, educated in specific startup skills, and for their startups to be accelerated to
be investment-ready, addressing the 620M market opportunity in Southeast Asia that they
can potentially capitalize on.”
Example of an expanded pitch:
“In just one year, we’ve educated over 14,000 budding entrepreneurs via MaGIC Academy workshops and we’re
specifically proud to have created over 200 new developers who can now code and build products. In fact, we just
launched the MaGIC Accelerator Program (MAP), where we received over 1,000 applications from 26 countries, and
selected 77 early-stage startups to be part of our first cohort over the 4-month program, making it Asia’s largest equity-
free accelerator. Finally, 70% of our entrepreneurs who were part of our e@Stanford exposure program have raised funding. We’ve just published our 1-year impact report that
you can find at impact.mymagic.my.”

ONE PAGER (a tease)
@cherylyeoh@kellyhadous
LAVAFLOWERS by environmentally friendly farmers
Lava Flowers aim to shorten the supply chain between the farmers and consumers so that unnecessary logistical cost could be eliminated to ensure fresher flowers and happier farmers.
PROBLEMPeople buy flowers all the time for various occasions. Unfortunately, the flower supply chain is extremely inefficient which results in poor quality flowers at a high cost.
SOLUTION (Clearly Include USP)We work with the farmers from ground zero to source the supply directly from there. We are managing the whole supply chain and that will reduce the overall cost of the flowers.
