Video Elevator Pitch

July 14th, 2007 by Chris Punke

A Few months back I posted some thoughts about Adam Steen’s post on encouraging business owners to get working on an elevator pitch. (Also check out his main blog site if you’re not a regular reader.)

My suggestion was to record yourself pitching your idea on video. A virtual elevator pitch.

Apparently I wasn’t the only one thinking along these lines. It seems a new video sharing community has popped up in the last month funded by Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel, and former Chairman of MySpace, Richard Rosenblat, among others.

The new video community, Vator.tv, (as in elevator pitch) is designed to give business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, and others a place to pitch ideas using video, and to learn about other businesses, pitches and ideas… all the while networking with other like-minded, forward-thinking people.

Sounds to me like a great idea!! The business community has been waiting for a “YouTube for business” and I feel like this idea has incredible potential!! If nothing else, this new community gives business owners another tool to reach a more business-specific audience than some of the other well-known video communities.

Again, that’s Vator.tv. Check it out!

[If anyone doesn’t know, we’re working on putting together several packages to help entrepreneurs use video to promote their businesses. We’ll be offering consulting, video production, editing, hosting, and assistance with posting to various video communities. Stay tuned or give us a shout for more details!]
