How Abbott Elementary Would Write a Startup Pitch





 This is how. 💁🏾


You don’t know what to say.

Even if you did know what to say, they’re not going to like your pitch.

And even if they did like your pitch, they’re never going to give you any money.

Do any of those thoughts run through your head when you have to give a pitch?

Do you get nervous?

When I get nervous, would you like to know what calms me down?

Watching one of my favorite television shows.

Like Abbott Elementary.

It will calm you down, too.

Hello. 🙋🏾 

My name is Mahlena-Rae Johnson, and this is How Abbott Elementary Would Write a Startup Pitch.

This also the presentation that I was supposed to give at SXSW EDU 2025, but was unable to do so, for reasons.

Maybe in 2026.
