Can you sell your business in 60 seconds?

In this episode of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, three top investors—Kim Perell, Laura Cho, and Jonathan Hung—hear pitches from entrepreneurs with everything on the line. From a viral TikTok business with over 30 million views to groundbreaking tech platforms, each founder has just one minute to make their case.

One entrepreneur shares her deeply personal story: "I invented this out of my hospital bed after a double mastectomy—it's my soul's purpose to spread joy to women." But will her passion translate into investment?

The investors don't pull punches. Laura Cho challenges one founder: "Success equals money, which equals sales. So what are the sales for the business so far?" Jonathan Hung reminds another: "You gotta have the ask ready no matter what. I need to understand what you want from me."

When one pitcher struggles to complete their pitch, the tension reaches a breaking point. "If you can't complete the pitch, how can we let you in the boardroom?"

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What investors really look for in a 60-second pitch
• How to handle tough questions about revenue and valuation
• The moment when passion meets business reality
• Real boardroom decisions and deal negotiations

Perfect for entrepreneurs sharpening their pitch skills or anyone who loves the drama of high-stakes business decisions.

Completing your pitch in 60 seconds is no easy task — but sealing a deal can be even harder.

On Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, our board of investors has all kinds of questions for contestants, digging into their costs, marketing strategies and sales traction (or lack thereof). On this show, you have to know your numbers — and be able to think fast — if you want to make it out with a life-changing deal.

What else do our investors listen for? As Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix and an Elevator Pitch investor put it, "when you're making your pitch, I want you to tell it, not sell it. Sure, describe your product, but I'm not your customer — I'm an investor. I want to know that other people are going to like it. I want to know how that's going to make my investment profitable. And most importantly, I want to see that you have the chops to make your business work."
