your blurb MUST include:

- <10 word elevator pitch that explains what the company does
- follow up sentence on why does this matter. clarify the market/pain point.
- a sentence on founders and team. provide URL to LinkedIn and list their qualifications
- highlights. whether it's traction, customers, committed investors, etc.
- URL to your site if you're live. deck/memo is nice to have

for those that don't know, intros are mostly a blind forward w/ some context
