Sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kickstarter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/angel.co\/?ref=nav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AngelList<\/a>&nbsp;vastly contain videos that sell the product, as opposed to obtaining investors.&nbsp; The pieces of the traditional elevator pitch are typically listed below the product video, in graphic or paragraph format. It makes me wonder if the traditional elevator pitch is on its way down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have decided to present this &#8220;eleventure pitch&#8221; for two important reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It contains some of the &#8220;Five T&#8217;s&#8221; of Adam Lorant&#8217;s lecture, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newventuresbc.com\/resource\/perfecting-your-business-pitch-with-adam-lorant-and-peter-payne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Perfecting Your Pitch&#8221;<\/a>&nbsp;(jump to the 8:40 mark for the 5 Ts). The T&#8217;s that are not included in the video, can be sourced from the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.microventures.com\/crowdfunding\/unlimited-tomorrow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microventures.com<\/a> site. This webpage is very well laid out and will answer many questions that a potential investor may have. (Should one of my ETEC 522 classmates decided to critique this hybrid pitch, please go to the Microventures.com site, to find the remaining elements.)<\/li><li>This is a pitch that is very active. Money is coming in as I type this sentence!&nbsp; The CEO is answering questions, as they come in.&nbsp; I am finding it very exciting to be following this venture, in real time.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, prosthetics are not directly related to the world of Ed Tech. However, this product utilizes both 3D printing and AI technologies, both of which are technologies moving into the world of Ed Tech. Moreover, this is one product that makes <em>me<\/em> want to invest! CEO Easton LaChappelle conveys passion, domain expertise, and leadership in his eleventure pitch (complete with inspiring &#8220;eleventure music&#8221;!).
