In 2008, "Brian Chesky" and "Joe Gebbia" were just two young men struggling to pay the rent in San Francisco. They decided to rent out a small space in their apartment to travelers, but the idea seemed too simple.
When they met an investor, they didn’t have a long presentation, instead "Chesky" said his famous line:
"We are a website that helps people host travelers in their homes at cheaper prices than hotels."
In just 25 seconds, he conveyed the idea, the problem, and the solution.
The investor was impressed with the clarity and simplicity, and he offered them their initial support, which later turned into a company worth over 70 billion dollars.

How to make your own elevator speech?

Introduce yourself or your idea briefly.
Explain the value or benefit you provide.
In the age of speed, those who do not know how to express themselves quickly may miss irreplaceable opportunities.
