Two bad CEO’s elevator pitches (Yahoo and AOL)

Sonntag, 30. Mai 2010 11:23

As the CEO of a startup you should know Elevator Pitch by heart – even if somebody wakes you up at 3am at night or if you are standing in a bar after three cocktails. Please keep this in mind: You might never get a second chance to get the attention from a customer or an investor.

Here are two good (well, bad) examples of CEO’s pitches. They don’t represent startups. They do represent two large public companies – Yahoo and AOL:

They got a crystal clear question and a chance to spread out a clear message but both messed it up.

Here is my advice to all entepreneurs:

  • Ask yourself – who is your company?
  • Put the answer into your Elevator Pitch
  • Try to answer in a Twitter-way (not more than 20 sec)
