ELEVATOR PITCH:

Me: (Gets in elevator, recognizes potential investor) -Hello, Mr SoNso?
Mr. SoNso: yes, do I know you?
Me: No, but i recognized you from [insert place]. Anyway, I run a company called DeadLast_Games, we build custom modified high-end gaming machines and workstations, think: Orange county choppers, except with computers [breaks forth wall and gives professor Fry the thumbs up]. I would like to offer you a unique investment opportunity.
Mr. SoNso: [Any answer but "leave me alone"]
Me: Wee have positioned ourselves in the market as a premium product and built our brand on a reputation for excellence and precise engineering. We make the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive PC's money can buy. We able to do this with custom component modification and fabrication and exotic cooling solutions (industry term, all non-air-cooled solutions are deemed "exotic"). We are a small company right now, but we have enjoyed a fairly consistent yearly growth of  about ~28%. That growth has been largely due to the quality of our products coupled with our social media gorilla marketing campaign. Right now we are meeting demand for our product, but we need to expand our employment and ramp up production to continue to do so. We also wanted to expand our advertising efforts to increase our market presence and generate new business to offset the cost of the salaries for the new employees. Of coarse, all of this costs money, which is why we are currently seeking $200,000 in exchange for a 10% stake in the company. This would allow us to increase our advertising budget and give us 6 months of runway to hire the new employees and get them up to speed while production ramps up. Would you be interested in a copy of our business plan?
