Step 1 of 5
Build the narrative spine
Investors buy a story about an inevitable future you own.
Build my pitch narrative. I will describe the company below. Produce the story spine: the shift in the world that creates the opening (why now); the acute problem in a concrete scene; our insight others miss; the product as the insight embodied; evidence it works (traction, however early - framed honestly); why we win (moat logic, even nascent); and the future if we succeed. One paragraph per beat, spoken-word style, 3 minutes total read aloud. COMPANY: [describe here]
Expected after this step
A 7-beat spoken narrative under 3 minutes with honest evidence.
Should not happen
- ✕Opening with the team instead of the tension
- ✕Top-down TAM slides with no bottoms-up math
- ✕Dodging traction questions instead of framing stage honestly
- ✕An ask with no use-of-funds logic
Verify before continuing
Do not move on until every check is true. The complete button stays locked until then.
Do not continue if…
- !Opening with the team instead of the tension
- !Top-down TAM slides with no bottoms-up math
- !Dodging traction questions instead of framing stage honestly
- !An ask with no use-of-funds logic
If the AI messes this up
Use this when the AI fakes progress or breaks the feature. It forces a real fix.
The story opens with team and product instead of tension. Reorder: world-shift, problem scene, insight, product, proof, moat, future - and cut anything that breaks the arc.
