Ask HN: What are the best startup pitches you've come across?

Good question! At the student level, I was quite impressed with the polish shown by the startups at Princeton's eLab. Here's a link to their demo day presentations. Including the "hangover-cure" Thrive+, which eventually did a Shark Tank deal.

The one every is talking about today is of course, The Final Straw. Yes, its "just" a non-disposable drinking straw.

I don't know which startup pitches are the best, but here's a list of the worst ones to avoid at all cost :) https://www.inc.com/matt-hunckler/startup-pitches-that-fail-...

Hope this is helpful

I'd say any pitch that has: - A great, relatable story (emotion) - The key features highlighting the value (reason)

Thanks for all the responses :) . I'm also putting together a Telegram group - where founders can get their pitches reviewed by other founders.
