What makes a good startup pitch? Of course, it is a presentation that offers insights into the product, the team and the business. But a really good pitch goes much further than that. I like pitches that offer a little personality and flavor, surprising with something I haven’t seen before.

Humor is always a good tool. And, of course, it is great if you can sneak in some news too. Given those parameters, here’s a look at five of my favorite pitches from the TechStars Seattle Demo Day, which took place last week at the Showbox Sodo.

Which one is your favorite?
