A pitch has a clock. 420 spoken words equals roughly three minutes. That’s the only constraint. Each sentence you choose to keep costs a sentence you can no longer say. Most pitch scripts fail because nobody was willing to cut.
The room where you give your pitch is just as important as the timing. An investor tunes in to hear the reason this will become significant. A corporate buyer tunes in to hear the reason this would not be a risk to their career. Convincing them both from the same script or mixing two different pitches does not convince either of them.
There are a handful of numbers that deserve to be mentioned out loud, and probably eight that you’re proud of. There are certain numbers that people lean forward to hear, and others I’ve learned to identify, that usually prompt a question I either don’t have an answer to or can’t share. This level of detail only comes from years of experience in the room. This is where the work is. The writing comes much easier after you learn to identify the details.
The stock lines packed into so many generated pitch scripts include the usual broad market size claims, the ubiquitous ‘we are the XXX for YYY’ angle, as well as the boilerplate statement about the future re-shaping of an industry. Investors hear those countless times each week. A model cannot decide which of your figures is the compelling one.
To time our draft, we ask a writer to read the draft aloud and continue to a stopwatch in order to cut the draft, as this is why the second draft is usually a third shorter than the first draft. Before any of this can happen, we decide on the one sentence we want them to repeat and develop the presentation from this point in reverse order.
Your final read aloud, twice, one relaxed and one nervous, is done timed because and people speed up in front of an audience. All the figures are checked against what you sent, and any figures that would need a source are flagged. Deck numbers and script numbers have to exactly match.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical pitch script | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short (3 min) | 450 | $45 | $0.45 | $45.45 |
| Standard (10 min) | 1,400 | $140 | $1.40 | $141.40 |
| Long (30 min) | 4,200 | $420 | $4.20 | $424.20 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Every format is priced identically: $10 per 100 words plus a 1% platform fee. A 1,400-word pitch script comes to $141.40. There is no research surcharge, no rush tier and no minimum retainer.
Up to 3 days. The writer has to read around the subject before writing it, so we quote honestly rather than promising an hour. If your deadline is tighter, say so in the brief and we will tell you before you pay whether we can meet it.
Both. The script includes spaces for a lesiue that you can insert, marked pauses, emphasis on words, and notes to slow down. For tight timing, we’ll note the paragraph to skip if you need to shorten your speech.
Yes, and we will let you know if the deck fights with the script. If slide 6 needs 90 seconds and you have a 3 minute slot, something will need to be sacrificed. Send both and we will sort the numbers and the order of events.

Public-sector tender, forty pages, scored on the method statement. The writer read the scoring matrix and tailored the answer in that order rather than telling our story. We scored highest on quality for the first time. I don’t know if it’s repeatable but I’ll definitely be applying again for the next tender.
Everything we’ve made in house, every battle card, turned into three pages no one opened. This is one, with the two objections that actually show up and a decent answer for each. Adoption is the only metric we care about and it’s almost all there.
First draft was so brochure like, I had to say we sell to procurement teams, so we’re talking about people who are allergic to adjectives. The second draft was better because it used customer’s wording from the interview, which is what I actually wanted in the first place. Just one more round and we got it right.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
