Completing your pitch in 60 seconds is no easy task — but sealing a deal can be even harder. On Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, our board of investors has all kinds of questions for contestants, digging into their costs, marketing strategies and sales traction (or lack thereof). On this show, you have to know your numbers — and be able to think fast — if you want to make it out with a life-changing deal. What else do our investors listen for? As Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix and an Elevator Pitch investor put it, "when you're making your pitch, I want you to tell it, not sell it. Sure, describe your product, but I'm not your customer — I'm an investor. I want to know that other people are going to like it. I want to know how that's going to make my investment profitable. And most importantly, I want to see that you have the chops to make your business work." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Esoes (pronounced S-O-S) is a cosmetics company with a unique and powerful mission. Founded by Joy Hoover, a mother of two girls, the lipstick is designed to help women caught in violent encounters or stuck in situations where they suspect their drink may have been spiked. The lipstick holder has a button that when activated, connects to an app to send customized communications to loved ones or police to get help. Also inside the holder are two test strips that can be dipped into a drink to check for the presence of benzodiazepine, a drug commonly used in date rape crimes. Joy pitched her product on a recent episode of Elevator Pitch, and the investors were so impressed with her take-charge spirit and the importance of her company's mission that they granted her a $10,000 cash prize made possible by Amazon Business. Following her successful ride in the elevator and boardroom meeting, Joy sat down with the host of the Post-Pitch Podcast to discuss how she developed her winning pitch, and her plans for scaling her business. Listen in to learn: How she recovered her thoughts when her nerves threatened to tank her pitch. How she is exploring alternative partnerships and strategic options even if a direct investment isn't secured. The value of investors' marketing and operational experience over their money.

David Fleming was plagued with migraines throughout his childhood, which significantly impacted his ability to attend school and have a normal social life. Frustrated with the lack of help he found from taking various medicines, he got to work on his own product called Releevum, a device that administers suboccipital release therapy, which is a technique frequently used by chiropractors and massage therapists. Using Releevum led to a notable improvement in David's academic performance, including his acceptance to Yale University and two intense appearances on "American Ninja Warrior" and now he wants to bring it to the masses to help others. After pitching his business on Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, he is one step closer to his goal, having secured a $10,000 prize made possible by Amazon Business. Following his successful ride in the Entrepreneur Elevator, David sat down to speak about the genesis, development and growth of his product, hitting on several topics including: Running a successful crowdfunding campaign: Reelevum conducted a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, raising over $25,000 from 200 backers through pre-orders for the product. Growing a startup: The immediate next steps for Reelevum involve securing additional investments for tooling, manufacturing, and clinical trials to further develop and bring the product to market. Forming strategic partnerships: How David is conducting outreach to partners who can provide not only financial support but also contribute to the overall success and growth of Reelevum. Developing a robust social media presence: Reelevum can be found on various social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, under the handle @releevum. The power of a mission statement: David's overarching goal with Releevum is to make a positive difference in people's lives by offering a solution for migraine relief and prevention. The clarity and focus of the mission have been key to his fundraising and development efforts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
