Notes for Gloc.al CEO Olya Naida from the Global Gate Accelerator for Startup pitch by Yulia Sedova 🦄

Notes for Gloc.al CEO Olya Naida from the Global Gate Accelerator for Startup pitch training session by Yulia Sedova 🦄

1. Warming up the story as in the usual standup, adding jargon for emotional reinforcement
2. Emotion stays, but we forget what we’re doing.
3. Try to get rid of NDA and DNS layer (although how can you do this if our partner CloudFlare handles about 70% of traffic volume through DNS and this is our secret sauce, it’s Workers OSS in public)
4. Simplify technical terms with the disclosure of numbers and technical terms
5. When answering questions, abbreviate a pre-prepared answer
6. Like for comments on slides that @olianayda doesn’t like but your humble servant @alexdolbun likes
7. Create a story plan and story about the title aka Japanese term 🎌 Glocal is thinking globally and acting locally with local identity
8. The most embarrassing questions about {Company Name} – coming soon to Quora and to Gloc.al
9. Slides need to be interactive in product style
10. Craft slides to fit the story or speak without a presentation but with a pitch, answering questions and explaining the idea 💡
