Key Takeaways
- Investors call out scattered and unfocused pitches.
- Perell offers a solid piece of advice for any entrepreneur.
Season 13 of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch is back with one of its most explosive episodes yet — and this ride to the top floor is packed with big personalities, bigger numbers and real-time drama you do not want to miss.
With just 60 seconds to pitch their business, founders step into the elevator and put everything on the line. The boardroom energy is electric as Kim Perell, Jon Bier and Dhani Jones react in real time, celebrating sharp storytelling and ruthless focus while calling out anything that feels scattered or unfocused.
This episode is a masterclass in what works (and what absolutely does not) in a pitch. Perell lays it out clearly: She wants founders who can “nail it and then scale it,” warning that trying to do too much too soon is a red flag.
Bier pushes entrepreneurs to prove that great products are backed by smart operations and clear positioning, while Jones underscores that betting on yourself is only the beginning — you also need discipline, focus and a tight SKU strategy.
You’ll see passions flare, tough passes land and a heartfelt founder story that hits the investors right in the gut — plus the kind of boardroom tension that keeps you glued to the screen. As you watch, you’ll pick up actionable insights on framing your ask, highlighting traction and turning your story into the kind of pitch that makes investors lean in.
