Selling & Buyers
How do I write a one-page pitch that gets a company's attention?
The short answer
Structure it around evidence of use — market analysis consistently identifies it as the clearest driver of both sale price and likelihood. One page showing whose products your claims read on beats ten pages describing how clever the invention is.
The full picture
The five blocks that work: (1) one sentence on what the invention does, (2) the problem it solves and the market size it touches, (3) the patent number, status, and remaining term, (4) the evidence — products, roadmaps, or standards your claims cover, and (5) a specific reason this company should care, with a named next step.
What kills pitches: describing features instead of opportunity, attaching the full patent PDF, asking for an NDA before any information, and CC-ing fifty companies visibly. A tailored page to the right contact, pressure-tested before it goes out, changes response rates more than any other single fix — and pressure-testing pitches is something we do every week.
