Ask HN: Are you 'crisp' enough to describe your startup idea in 2-4 words?
"You need to be able to say what your startup does in 2-4 words. No one has the time or attention span for an elevator pitch anymore." – says David Sacks from Craft Ventures (https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/1197276076759584768)
Would you be able to tell what your startup does using this rather restricted format?
Let me try this with Karma (https://karmabot.chat)
Karma is...
A) building happy teams
B) micro-feedback chatbot
C) peer appreciation chatbot
D) true bonding at work
Which one would you pick/suggest?
Please do share your products and one-liners in the comments!
- stockkid 7y agoI think A and D are too abstract.
- kulesh 7y agoC then? Thanks!
- ajeet_dhaliwal 7y agoEven c may be too abstract, b was the clearest to me. I can see why if you’re completely familiar with your product you may prefer the others, because you feel it does so much more but for people who’ve never heard of a product it’s perhaps easiest to understand. I have the same issue at Tesults.com. If someone’s never heard of it, I’d describe it as ‘test results reporting’ but yeah it’s a lot more than that, it’s a complete pipeline for handling post testing.
- kulesh 7y ago"complete pipeline for handling post testing" -> "complete pipeline for testing" does the trick for me. "True bonding for remote teams"? Too vague?
