Demo Agenda for Founders: 15 Minutes That Advance
Three pains, three product moments, trial close, locked next step. No feature tours that end in "we will think about it."
Founder demos usually fail the same way: a twenty-minute feature tour answering questions nobody asked, ending with vague enthusiasm and no next step.
The fix is an agenda built from discovery pains: hook, three moments mapped to pains, trial close, calendar lock. Build yours below.
Frequently asked questions
Fifteen or thirty minutes?
Fifteen forces discipline. Thirty invites tours. You can always extend a hot fifteen.
How many features should I show?
Three moments, each tied to a stated pain. Everything else is appendix.
What is a trial close?
"What would you want in a trial?" — asked before the end. No signal means no interest; find out now.
