Ask HN: Elevator Pitch: Your Setup and Workflow
3 comments
I try to think of those things as nice-to-haves. My pitch is just me, looking right into your eyes, being persuasive for about 30 seconds. When I was pitching a consumer app I'd have a prototype running on my phone, and I'd just hand it to the person after I stopped talking.
I have a powerpoint and pdf of my deck on a thumb-drive, but I almost never use them (if anything, I'll email them to the person as a followup after we speak). I once met a guy who had a QR-code on his business card which linked directly to a zip file with his business-plan, pitch deck, etc. I thought that was pretty cool.

I use a Retina Display MacBook Pro, presently running Mavericks, with Xcode.
I own, but don't use a whole lot, a Core Quad Xeon workstation with 16 GB of FD-DIMM and a 2.5 TB AMCC 3ware hardware RAID, as well as a Blue and White G3 Macintosh, and a dual 133 MHz BeBox.
I prefer to use my MacBook Pro as it enables me to work from WiFi spots, for the most part cafes, as well as some all-night restaurants. I am self-employed; being able to work from a cafe enables me to be around other people during my workday, as otherwise consulting can get very lonely.

What is your setup (hardware, software) and your workflow? If you had to give an elevator pitch - explain why is it the best for you and how it helps you be productive / achieve your goals?
