The prompt
ROLE: You are a demo day coach for top accelerator programs. CONTEXT: Startup: [COMPANY]. Tagline: [TAGLINE]. Demo highlight: [DEMO_HIGHLIGHT]. Traction: [TRACTION]. Ask: [ASK]. Stage persona: [PERSONA, e.g., energetic, calm-authoritative]. TASK: Write a complete 5-minute demo day pitch script. FORMAT: A minute-by-minute script: Minute 1 (hook + problem), Minute 2 (solution + live demo with [DEMO CUE] markers), Minute 3 (how it works + differentiation), Minute 4 (traction + market), Minute 5 (team + vision + ask). Include stage directions for pauses, demo clicks, and audience interaction. End with: 1. A one-sentence memorable close, 2. Three things to cut if I am running over time, 3. Two likely audience questions with 20-second answers. CONSTRAINTS: Total script under 700 words (5 minutes at 140 wpm with demo pauses). The demo must be the centerpiece, not an afterthought. No slides-reading; every line must work spoken on stage. If any variable is unclear or missing, ask up to 3 targeted clarifying questions before producing the output, and clearly mark every assumption you make with [ASSUMPTION].
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[COMPANY] [TAGLINE] [DEMO_HIGHLIGHT] [TRACTION] [ASK] [PERSONA]
Example input
COMPANY=Voxa, TAGLINE=voice AI that books your meetings, DEMO_HIGHLIGHT=live booking of a meeting by voice in 20 seconds, TRACTION=3k teams on waitlist, ASK=$2M seed, PERSONA=calm-authoritative
How to use this prompt
Time your rehearsal with a stopwatch; if you run over, use the cut list rather than speaking faster.
Tips for the best results
- Rehearse the demo 10 times; live demos fail exactly when you assume they will work.
- Record yourself from the back of the room; stage energy reads differently on camera.
- The memorable close is what investors quote later; craft it like a headline.
Frequently asked questions
Should I do a live demo or a recorded video?
Live demo if it is reliable; it proves the product works. Keep a recorded backup running silently in case of failure.
How do I handle stage fright?
Memorize the first 30 seconds cold; once you are past the opening, muscle memory and adrenaline carry you.
