In the interview, use plain English and avoid buzzwords to explain your product and its purpose clearly.

It's crucial to explain concepts that the interviewers might not understand, given the limited time you have. Discuss your solution by explaining how you solve the problem and why you are the right team to do it.

Clear and concise communication is crucial; if I can't understand what a company does after a ten-minute interview, that's an easy no for funding.

To make your pitch clear, avoid ambiguity, complexity, jargon, and unnecessary preambles, and focus on being conversational.

Avoid lengthy explanations of how you came up with your idea; instead, get straight to the point.

Your pitch should be straightforward, allowing the listener to grasp your idea without needing to ask clarifying questions.

In contrast, when pitching to investors, avoid jargon and use clear, understandable language, as they may not grasp the problem you're addressing.

If you get cut off during your answer, you might not be able to return to it, so be concise and direct to avoid pitfalls.

It's important to have confidence in your interviewing style, even if you're not an expert in the field you're hiring for.
