The Milestone-Gated Bridge Pitch

Recommended Spoken Script
"Our fund is committing $250k of a $750k convertible bridge note with a 20% discount. The company has reduced monthly burn by 50% to $65k, and this bridge provides 11 months of runway to close their 4 enterprise pilots representing $600k in pipeline. We need all syndicate seed investors to participate pro-rata."
