In this session from Yale's Creating Change through Social Entrepreneurship course, the instructor breaks down how to build an effective pitch for a social venture, whether the format is a ten-minute investor meeting or a thirty-second elevator introduction. The lecture covers structuring a narrative around problem, solution, impact, and traction, and explains how pitch content and length should adapt to the audience and setting. Students learn which slides matter most in a formal deck, how to lead with evidence rather than aspiration, and how to avoid the common mistake of overloading a pitch with detail instead of clarity. The lecture draws on real examples of social enterprise pitches to show what separates a compelling ask from a forgettable one. It is part of a sequence preparing students to communicate and fund their ventures.
