I read and listen to about 120 pitches per week. What I love is that all the ideas and the people behind them are unique – what I don’t love is that everyone has a different pitching format. Sometimes, I’m yearning for more information, and other times I’m waiting for it to stop. Not because I’m impatient or a bad person - neither is the investor or the friend you’re pitching - but because we know you’re super passionate and can speak for hours on it. We really just want to understand the core details so we can learn if we can be helpful as early as possible. This is why I created the ClearPitch42 format. 42-seconds of the most important information needed to get the next meeting. Only then, will you need to dig into the other areas that are of interest to the listener/investor, such as: why you started the company, what you were doing before this, how you and the co-founders met, your long-term vision, go-to-market strategy, competitors, etc. Check it out and let me know what you think: 💸 Investors, I welcome any feedback about what else you like to hear in an intro pitch. 🚀 Founders, I hope it helps you on your fundraising journey. Let me know how it works for you! PS. It should cosily fit into a Tweet too - so feel free to @ me or use #ClearPitch42 and I'll RT you. Happy Pitching!

No matter the company, stage, industry, experience, etc., the ClearPitch42 framework is universally applicable to any founder looking to raise capital. You can tell the maker is a subject matter expert who put a lot of thought and care into setting this up.

@_abbsolute, thanks Abb. What I tell everyone: Good founders know what to put in a pitch. Great founders know what to leave out.

This is awesome, Saba! Wondering how you got to the magical "42 seconds" number?
Saba Karim
@andrewthezhou 😂 The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything," calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years.

I reference this pitch format at 4-5 times per week. Glad it's a product now😊
