Beachers,
Movember. 9-9-9. Occupy Wall Street.
A great startup CEO is usually a good pop psychologist. Read Mark Suster’s thoughts on why this matters. If you can not only convey the meat of your idea in one short sentence, but also inspire an emotional response in your audience, you’ve already won the room. Hello Bar Says Goodbye to Breast Cancer. More words isn’t always better.
Lucky for us, this is the town that pioneered the high concept pitch. Four words have made millions. “It’s X meets Y.” It’s Caddyshack meets Showgirls. Sold. (Producer credit please.)

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback. Feel free to ping me at @galica or mgalica@thestartupdigest.com.
