A Pitch Deck Gets Judged on the Street

Create a street-interview business series for TikTok where a startup founder pitches the same idea to five everyday Americans in a busy New York City plaza. Use a 28mm handheld lens for lively establishing shots, then alternate 50mm portrait close-ups as each person reacts honestly. Natural late-afternoon sunlight, soft fill, realistic city ambience, and documentary-style subtitles create an authentic creator-culture feel. The founder pitches a subscription service at $12 per month, while viewers see a simple animated breakdown of customer problem, solution, market, and price. Capture awkward pauses, useful criticism, and one surprising yes. End with the founder rewriting the pitch based on public feedback.
