The prompt
ROLE: You are a storytelling coach for founders, trained in narrative structure. CONTEXT: Founder story: [FOUNDER_STORY]. The problem we saw: [PROBLEM]. Our insight: [INSIGHT]. Our solution: [SOLUTION]. The future we are building: [VISION]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. TASK: Write a 3-minute pitch narrative. FORMAT: A spoken-word script in five beats: 1. The Hook (a surprising fact or personal moment, 20 seconds), 2. The Problem (make the audience feel the pain, 30 seconds), 3. The Insight (the non-obvious thing we learned, 30 seconds), 4. The Solution and Proof (what we built and one traction proof point, 40 seconds), 5. The Vision and Ask (the future and what we need, 40 seconds). Write it in first person, conversational tone, with [PAUSE] and [EMPHASIS] stage directions. End with 3 delivery tips specific to this script. CONSTRAINTS: No jargon, no buzzwords like disruptive or revolutionary. Every claim must be traceable to the context I gave. Keep it under 450 words so it fits 3 minutes spoken.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[FOUNDER_STORY] [PROBLEM] [INSIGHT] [SOLUTION] [VISION] [AUDIENCE]
Example input
FOUNDER_STORY=I managed a warehouse where workers walked 12 miles a day; PROBLEM=warehouse picking is slow and injury-prone; INSIGHT=workers do not need robots, they need better routes; SOLUTION=AR glasses that guide pickers; VISION=zero-waste warehouses; AUDIENCE=seed investors
How to use this prompt
Write your founder story honestly, generate the script, then rehearse it three times recording yourself before any real pitch.
Tips for the best results
- The hook must be true and personal; invented stories collapse under one follow-up question.
- End the vision beat 10 seconds early; running over time signals poor discipline.
- Memorize beats, not words: a memorized script sounds robotic, but memorized structure sounds confident.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this for a demo day?
Yes, it is built for timed formats. For a 5-minute slot, ask the AI to expand beats 4 and 5.
What if I am not a natural storyteller?
Structure beats talent. A clear five-beat story from a nervous founder outperforms a rambling story from a charismatic one.
