Pitch Clock

A startup has thirty seconds in front of an investor. Its pitch is cut into blocks: tap them in the order that wins a yes, Hook, Problem, Solution, Proof, Money, Ask. Pitches grow, the labels disappear and red-flag blocks sneak in.

How to play

Learn the order. Hook, Problem, Solution, Proof, Money, Ask: the story investors expect.
Tap to place. Tap the blocks (or press 1 to 7) to fill the slots in order. Tap a placed block to take it back.
Beat the clock. 30 seconds per pitch. Pitches grow from 4 to 6 parts, then the labels vanish and a trap block joins the pile.
Score. 20 points per block in place; a perfect pitch adds 50 plus 5 per second left. A pitch that isn't perfect costs one of 3 lives.

Quick tips

Find the hook. It's the line that makes you look up: a picture, a story or a surprising number.
Pain before fix. The problem always comes before the solution: the investor has to feel it first.
Numbers are proof. Users, sales, repeat buyers: anything that already happened goes after the solution.
The ask closes. An amount and what it pays for. It's always the last block.
Spot the red flags. No competitors, huge promises, pressure to decide today: none of them belong in a pitch.
