The Friction
Founders spend 90 seconds explaining technical architecture before stating what problem they solve. Angels make their investment decision in the first 60 seconds.
The 4-Part Angel Pitch Formula
01
The Massive Inefficiency (30s): "Sales teams spend $15B annually on static LMS courses, but 80% of reps freeze on live objection calls because reading slides builds zero muscle memory."
02
The Product Magic (30s): "Dehurdle is a real-time voice AI simulator where reps practice high-stakes meetings with AI personas that interrupt and push back with sub-300ms latency."
03
The Traction Proof (30s): "In the last 90 days, we grew to 88 enterprise customers, 12,000 monthly simulated calls, and zero churn."
