Startup pitch video FAQ
What is a startup pitch video?
A startup pitch video explains a young company to investors and early backers before or after the meeting: the problem, how the model works and why now. Earth Token's names the gap first, "connecting buyers and sellers has always been difficult and inefficient", then explains the token through one forest.
How long should a startup pitch video be?
As long as the mechanism needs, and no longer. Flare makes one claim stick in 29 seconds of kinetic type. Earth Token takes 1:35 because backers had to understand a token that "represents the value of natural assets" before being asked to invest. Pick one job for the video and cut to it.
What should a pitch video show first?
The problem, as a picture, before any product. Maze's video splits one line into a tangle of paths, then clears it to 2 clean lines before a single screen appears. A backer who sees the mess first wants the fix, and the product then lands as the answer.
How do you explain a complex model, like a token, to backers?
Run the whole model through one example. Earth Token shows a man about to cut a forest to sell the wood, plays the cut backward next to stacks of dollar bills, and ends with the tree standing and coins around the community. One case shows who pays and who earns.
Should a pitch video replace the pitch deck?
No. The deck carries the numbers, the team and the ask. The video carries the part that is hard to say in a slide: the problem as one scene and the mechanism as one case. Send it ahead of the meeting or after it, so the backer can replay the idea for a partner.
How much does a startup pitch video cost?
At Advids, a 60-second startup pitch video costs a fixed fee. Kinetic type like Flare's sits in the Clean Design tier, $1,000 to $1,500. A 2D illustrated model explainer like Earth Token's is Strategic Storytelling, $2,000 to $3,000. 3D metaphor scenes, like Maze's, cost more.
