Good question! At the student level, I was quite impressed with the polish shown by the startups at Princeton's eLab. Here's a link to their demo day presentations. Including the "hangover-cure" Thrive+, which eventually did a Shark Tank deal.

The one every is talking about today is of course, The Final Straw. Yes, its "just" a non-disposable drinking straw.

I'd say any pitch that has: - A great, relatable story (emotion) - The key features highlighting the value (reason)
