To all the early stage founders 👋🏻
→ use different pitches for different audiences
Founders spend most of their time trying to…
1️⃣ get funding
2️⃣ get customers
Both audiences need to be convinced…
but of different things.
👩🏻💼Investors
→ need to convinced you’re going to build a billion dollar platform that will cover their entire fund
👨🏼💼 Customers
→ need to be convinced you can solve their day-to-day annoyance
The common mistake is that founders start getting these two messages confused, which ends up in…
❌ weird landing pages that alienate customers
❌ out of touch sales pitches
❌ non-converting content and ads
❌ underwhelming investor pitches
Use this matrix as a helpful way to remember to anchor the right message for the right audience 👌🏻
