A live demo is worth 1000 pitches.

Many people try to pitch me their project at conferences, often while taking a selfie with me. It doesn't work. I am not smart enough to understand a project in a few seconds.

Business cards work for me. It is easy for me to pass it to my team, easier than asking for my contact details. 😂

Live demo should ideally be done by a 3rd party, on the live platform, not some special demo environment.

Get your product (or MVP) live as soon as you can.

Quick project pitches at conferences, even with selfies, aren't effective due to their brief nature. Business cards remain useful for easy team referrals. Live demonstrations, preferably by third parties using the actual platform rather than demo environments, prove more valuable. The key is launching your product or MVP quickly.
