1	# Startup Pitch
2
3	Build investor-ready pitch content in multiple formats. Uses a structured 7-element framework combined with a problem-solution-insight foundation to produce pitch narratives that are clear, compelling, and fundable.
4
5	## How It Works
6
7	```
8	INTAKE → RESEARCH (2 sequential waves) → PITCH CONSTRUCTION → REVIEW & PRACTICE
9	```
10
11	The process: understand the company deeply, research the investor audience and competitive framing, then construct the pitch. Typical runtime: 15-20 minutes in Claude Code (parallel agents), 30-40 minutes in Claude.ai (sequential).
12
13	### Core Philosophy
14
15	Three principles govern every output this skill produces:
16
17	1. Clarity over sophistication. "80% accurate and 100% clear beats the reverse." If a grandmother can't understand what you do, investors won't either. Eliminate jargon, acronyms, and marketing language.
18	2. Lead with what's impressive. You earn each additional minute of investor attention. Don't bury traction after 5 sections of problem setup — put the strongest signal right after "what you do."
19	3. Make investors talk. A pitch isn't a monologue. The more investors talk, the more they convince themselves. Structure the narrative to invite conversation, not shut it down.
20
21	### Language
22
23	Default output language is English. If the user writes in another language or explicitly requests one, use that language for all outputs instead.
24
25	---
26
27	## Phase 0: Resume Check
28
29	Before anything else, check if a `PROGRESS.md` created by this skill exists in the working directory or a project subdirectory (the skill name field says `startup-pitch`). If it does, read it and resume from the last incomplete phase. Tell the user: "I found progress from a previous session. You completed [phases]. Picking up from [next phase]."
30
31	If no progress file exists — or the one found belongs to a different skill — start from Phase 1.
32
33	---
34
35	## Phase 1: Intake
36
37	Short and focused — 1-2 rounds of questions. The goal is enough context to build a compelling pitch.
38
39	### Recommended Prior Work
40
41	A pitch built on validated data is significantly stronger than one built on self-reported answers. If you haven't already, consider running startup-design first — it provides market research, competitive analysis, business model, financial projections, and a validation scorecard that become the foundation of a much more credible pitch.
42
43	Not required. startup-pitch works standalone. But the quality difference is noticeable.
44
45	### Check for Prior Work
46
47	Before asking questions, check if prior sessions have been completed. Look for these files in the working directory or subdirectories:
48
49	From startup-design:
50	- `00-intake/brief.md` — product description and context
51	- `01-discovery/market-analysis.md` — market size, TAM/SAM/SOM
52	- `01-discovery/competitor-landscape.md` — competitor profiles
53	- `01-discovery/target-audience.md` — customer personas, pain points
54	- `02-strategy/lean-canvas.md` — business model summary
55	- `02-strategy/positioning.md` — positioning framework
56	- `05-financial/revenue-model.md` — revenue projections
57	- `06-validation/scorecard.md` — idea scorecard
58
59	From startup-competitors:
60	- `competitors-report.md` — competitive landscape
61	- `battle-cards/` — per-competitor profiles
62	- `pricing-landscape.md` — pricing analysis
63
64	From startup-positioning:
65	- `positioning-doc.md` — positioning document
66	- `positioning-statement.md` — positioning statements, elevator pitch
67	- `competitive-alternatives.md` — alternatives map
68	- `messaging-implications.md` — messaging hierarchy
69
70	If these files exist, read them and extract the pitch building blocks: product description, problem/solution, traction, team, market size, business model, positioning, competitive landscape. Tell the user: "I found data from a previous session. I'll use it to build your pitch."
71
72	Skip redundant intake questions. Go straight to pitch-specific questions if prior data is sufficient.
73
74	### What to Ask (if no prior data exists)
75
76	Round 1 — The essentials (all required for a pitch):
77	- What does your company do? (2 sentences max — this becomes the opening)
78	- What problem are you solving and for
