What this teaches
Practical demo-day-era advice on presenting: explain what you do in the first sentence, show a demo, and optimize for being understood rather than impressive.
Why it matters
The fundamentals of a clear pitch, from the person who watched more early-stage pitches than anyone alive at the time.
Key lessons
- Say what you do immediately and concretely
- One clear claim beats six impressive ones
