Most Pitches Fail In The First 30 Seconds. Here’s Why | why startup pitches fail


Most healthtech founders don’t fail because of a bad product.

They fail because they’re pitching the right idea in the wrong language.

This week, we pulled back the curtain on a live coaching session inside our Pitch Perfect Workshop.
Here’s what really separates fundable startups from ignored ones 👇

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why the first 30 seconds of your pitch matters more than your metrics
✅ How to align your story to the 5 investor psychology profiles
✅ The #1 mistake founders make when identifying their buyer
✅ How we repositioned a founder’s pitch from "meh" to match-worthy
✅ What real traction signals actually look like for early-stage founders
✅ Why coachability is the invisible X-factor investors are screening for

📣 Real Talk:
If your pitch isn’t landing the way you hoped—it’s not your fault. You were probably never taught how to reverse-engineer your message based on how investors make decisions.
That’s what we do inside our workshops, and in the HealthTech Showdown virtual stage experience.

💬 Founders:
What’s the ONE part of your pitch you’re unsure is landing with investors?
Drop it in the comments—I’ll give you a real-time fix.
