Investors decide in the first few minutes whether to keep listening. This prompt helps you make those minutes count. You give it the facts about your company, and it returns a pitch built around a clear story: what is broken, what you noticed that others missed, what you built, what the numbers show, and what you want. It also prepares you for the pushback you will get.
When to use it
Run this before you build or rewrite a deck, before a first call with a fund, or any time your pitch feels like a feature list instead of a story. It works best when you already have something real to point at, even if the numbers are small. If you have not launched yet, the traction section will be thin and you should lean harder on the insight and the team.
How to use it
- Write your inputs in plain sentences at the top of the chat. Cover five things: what you do in one sentence, the market you sell into, your strongest numbers so far, the advantage a competitor cannot copy quickly, and how much you are raising at what stage.
- Be specific with numbers. Replace "growing fast" with the actual monthly figure and the period it covers. Replace "large market" with the slice you can realistically serve first.
- Paste the prompt and let it produce the hook, the story arc, the traction framing, three objections and a closing line.
- Read the hook out loud. If it needs a second sentence to make sense, ask for five more versions and pick the one that lands in one breath.
- Test each objection answer against your real data. Cut any line you could not defend under questioning.
A worked input looks like this: "We sell scheduling software to independent dental clinics. Market: single-location practices in the UK. Traction: 41 paying clinics, 18k monthly recurring revenue, 9 percent monthly growth for six months. Advantage: we plug into the practice management system most clinics already run. Raising: 1.5m seed." That is enough for the model to produce something usable.
What a good answer looks like
The hook should name a specific pain and hint at your angle, not describe your category. The 60-second arc should move in one direction with no detours, and each step should set up the next. Traction framing should put your numbers in context, such as growth rate, retention or a comparison to how you started, without inflating them. The three objections should be the ones that actually come up in meetings, usually market size, competition and why now, and each answer should be short enough to say out loud.
The closing line should make the next step obvious without pressure. If the output reads like a brochure, feed it sharper inputs and ask for a tighter version. You are the one who has to say these words in the room, so rewrite anything that does not sound like you.
A prompt that turns your startup details into a tight pitch: a hook, a 60-second story, framed traction, objection answers and a closing ask. For founders raising a round.
