🛗Elevator Pitch Generator

About this tool

Choose 30 or 60 seconds, then fill in who you are, the problem you solve, how you solve it and what you want next. The 60-second version also uses a hook, a result with a number and why you care. The tool joins them into a natural spoken pitch and times it at 130 words a minute, warning you if it runs long. The draft is saved in your browser.

How to give a great elevator pitch

An elevator pitch is a short introduction you can deliver in the time of a lift ride. You'll use it at networking events, career fairs, investor meetings, sales calls and when an interviewer says "tell me about yourself". At a natural speaking pace of about 130 words a minute, 30 seconds is roughly 65 words and 60 seconds about 130. The 30-second example here is 60 words (about 28 seconds). A strong pitch follows a simple arc: a hook that gets attention, who you are in one line, the problem you solve, how you solve it, proof (one concrete result with a number), and a clear ask, such as a meeting, an introduction or a next step. End with a question so the pitch turns into a conversation. Tailor the ask and the proof to the listener: an investor cares about traction, a hiring manager about results in roles like theirs. Practise out loud until it sounds like you talking rather than reciting, and cut any word you wouldn't naturally say. Honest limits: speaking speed varies by person and nerves, so time yourself too. The professional bio generator, the value proposition generator and the interview question generator are related, and How many words is a page? covers words and speaking time.
