"You always want to use language that's clear enough that someone can visualize it for themselves, and simple enough that it sounds like you're talking to a five-year-old," explains Weaver.
This approach works for founders far beyond the pitch room. When your explanation is simple enough for any audience to understand and remember, investors can easily share your story with their partners, expanding your reach exponentially.
