Elevator Pitch No. 1


  1. Elevator Pitch
  2. Text Description
    • My opportunity is to eliminate dust accumulation on ceiling fan blades by creating covers out of spandex or nylon with a velcro enclosure. I will design them in different colors and designs to create a fashion sense for the home and remove the element of the boring standard fan blades.
  3. Name
    • Covades


Please partake in my poll below the comment box. 
Thank you.

  1. Really good job. Looked professional, sold it well. I like that you included the obvious benefit of the dust prevention, as well as selling it on another front (fashion statement). Turning 50k into 2 billion dollars is a bold promise, but definitely caught my attention. If this pitch was being delivered to me I would to look into it further. Seems like you have a firm grasp on what your product is/ what you want it to be.

    1. Beau,

      Thanks. It came across as 2 billion but I was saying 2 million.

  2. Brian,

    I think you did a great job explaining the product and getting your idea across. Just a suggestion for next time, I would try to record in a different room to help avoid the echo. It sounds like your camera has a powerful microphone which makes it difficult to record indoors (mine does the same thing), but sometimes recording in a smaller room can help with that. Overall you have a great product idea here and your pitch was very professional and well delivered. I liked that you included not only the practical use of dust prevention but also the personal use as a design statement. Great job!

  3. Brian, i really enjoyed your presentation. Your talking pace was great and allowed me to keep up with what you were saying without getting bored. I would also reccommend going into a different room to avoid the echos, as it did hinder the understanding of what you were saying at some points. This is the first time seeing your idea and I think it is very unique! I was just staring at my dirty fan the ther day wishing I could clean it without getting the dust everywhere. You definitely have a customer to sell to, which is great!

  4. Briana and Amanda,

    Thanks for the feedback. I think we have to do another elevator pitch so I will definitely use another room to make it more presentable.

  5. Brian,

    I really appreciated that you took the time to dress professionally and come up with some real figures, as would be necessary in a true elevator pitch to investors. I've commented on your previous posts with enthusiasm that I'll repeat again - I think you've got a great idea with these "Covades"! I would suggest using the name of your product in the pitch to make it feel more like a concrete product.

  6. Sarah,

    Thanks for the advice. The next pitch I will incorporate your feedback and other feedback I have received. The first pitch always has room for improvement and using the name would be a vast improvement. Thanks again for taking the time and providing great feedback to help me improve.
