Question 1 of 10
Score: 0/10
1
The most important element of startup storytelling is:
Great storytelling creates emotional connection. People remember stories, not feature lists. A relatable narrative helps audiences understand why your solution matters and why they should care.
2
A typical pitch deck should have approximately how many slides?
A pitch deck should be 10-15 slides maximum. Each slide should convey one key message. More slides means less focus and higher chance of losing your audience's attention.
3
The "Problem" slide in your pitch deck should:
The problem slide should make the audience viscerally feel the pain. If they don't understand and empathize with the problem, they won't appreciate your solution. Use specific examples and data.
4
The "10-20-30" rule for presentations suggests:
Guy Kawasaki's 10-20-30 rule: 10 slides maximum, 20 minutes to present, 30-point minimum font size. This forces clarity and readability, making your pitch more effective.
5
When handling tough Q&A questions, you should:
Tough questions are opportunities to show you've deeply considered challenges. Acknowledge the question, answer honestly (even if the answer is "we're still figuring this out"), and demonstrate thoughtfulness.
6
A "soft launch" strategy means:
A soft launch releases your product to a small, controlled audience first. This lets you find and fix bugs, gather feedback, and refine your approach before a larger public launch.
7
Which slide typically comes RIGHT AFTER the "Problem" slide?
After establishing the problem, you immediately present your solution. This creates a satisfying narrative arc—you've shown the pain, now show the relief. The contrast makes your solution more compelling.
8
Your "Ask" slide should:
Your ask should be specific and justified. State exactly what you need (funding amount, partnerships, introductions) and explain how you'll use it to reach specific milestones.
9
Pre-launch email lists are valuable because:
A pre-launch email list means you have people eagerly waiting for your product. On launch day, you can drive immediate traffic and users, creating momentum and social proof.
10
The best way to practice your pitch is:
Practice out loud, repeatedly, and get feedback from others. This builds confidence, helps you refine your message, and prepares you for questions. Practicing to real people reveals what resonates and what confuses.
