Can you sell your business in 60 seconds?

In this episode of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, three top investors—Kim Perell, Laura Cho, and Jonathan Hung—hear pitches from entrepreneurs with everything on the line. From a viral TikTok business with over 30 million views to groundbreaking tech platforms, each founder has just one minute to make their case.

One entrepreneur shares her deeply personal story: "I invented this out of my hospital bed after a double mastectomy—it's my soul's purpose to spread joy to women." But will her passion translate into investment?

The investors don't pull punches. Laura Cho challenges one founder: "Success equals money, which equals sales. So what are the sales for the business so far?" Jonathan Hung reminds another: "You gotta have the ask ready no matter what. I need to understand what you want from me."

When one pitcher struggles to complete their pitch, the tension reaches a breaking point. "If you can't complete the pitch, how can we let you in the boardroom?"

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What investors really look for in a 60-second pitch


• How to handle tough questions about revenue and valuation


• The moment when passion meets business reality


• Real boardroom decisions and deal negotiations

Perfect for entrepreneurs sharpening their pitch skills or anyone who loves the drama of high-stakes business decisions.
