As we go through the regional Roadshow for Accelerating Asia, promoting the program, I thought it would be useful to provide a few tips on pitching.

At each of our Roadshow events we have a pitch competition, with the winner gaining automatic entry to the second round of the application process. Since our program typically receives well over 200 applications this can mean the startup gets a pass to leap past at least 150 other applications!

The pitch format is really basic: A 1-minute pitch with no slides. Here’s some tips on how to ace your pitch.

Got what it takes? Here are the 7 things we look for in a startup

As we gear up for cohort 1 of Accelerating Asia, I am getting asked “What profile of startups are you looking for?”. It’s a good question since we don’t have a vertical focus and our investment terms are very flexible in term of valuation (we use a SAFE). At a top level we are open to any awesome founders solving big problems, but here are the 7 main things that we look for.
