Asking These 3 Questions Will Make You a Pro at Pitching Startups

A buddy of mine runs a startup accelerator. He recently invited me to speak to his cohort and meet, individually, with its 12 current companies. Despite the fact that both my buddy and I explicitly explained I was there as a startup advisor and not an investor, all but one of the startups pitched me and asked for money. To be fair, of course they did. Ask any entrepreneur what they wish they had more of, and most of them will tell you they need more money.
