A Tool from Build the Damn Thing

Write your elevator pitch.

Most pitches fail because they sound like everyone else's. The pitch Kathryn delivered in the prologue of Build the Damn Thing worked because it had seven specific parts, every one of them load-bearing. This tool walks you through the same seven parts. Type your version. We will assemble it as you go.

"I took a deep breath. I know how to talk. I know how to get people on my side. So I put on my Minnesota smile and gave my pitch."
