Of all startup pitch video examples, the Dollar Shave Club pitch video has been touted across the board as one of the most successful pitch videos – ever!

  1. PooPourri Pitch Video

Startup pitch video examples, like this one from PooPourri don’t have to be overly serious, especially when we’re talking about a product that is difficult to talk about.

  1. Segway-Ninebot Kickscooter Air T15 Pitch Video

Pitching a product that mixes electric scooter with Segway for convenience, style, and durability the Segway-Ninebot KickScooter pitch was simple but incredibly powerful. The video used a simple, stylized approach to mixing color in a very appropriate way so that, despite the video actually not speaking a single word, the entire message is delivered with ease! This alone is so surprising, what’s more surprising is the product and features are covered most comprehensively despite the limited audio!

  1. Oculus Rift Pitch Video
