Inspiration

Every week I meet brilliant students and first-time founders who feel their idea’s value but freeze the moment they must pitch it.

I spent 18 years in consumer-goods sales, then pivoted into training & coaching. I had zero coding background, but I know stories sell. When I discovered no-code “vibe coding” with Bolt, a lightbulb popped.

What it does

What if anyone could step into a virtual elevator, ramble their rough idea on camera, and walk out with a crystal-clear pitch video - still starring their own face and perfectly-cloned voice?

That’s exactly what The Pitch Elevator delivers in one click!

How I built it

Layer What it does Tech
🎛 Front-end Elevator lobby & mirror UI Bolt
🎤 Capture Record webcam + mic Bolt
✍️ Transcript Speech → text OpenAI Whisper via Bolt prompt
🧠 Rewrite Punchier pitch (Problem → Edge → Traction → Ask) DeepSeek LLM via Bolt prompt
🗣 Voice Clone speaker ElevenLabs (upgraded → Pro) via Bolt prompt
🎬 Lip-sync New audio on original face Sieve Sync via Bolt prompt
🔐 Backend Auth, storage, realtime, monetization Supabase and Stripe via Bolt prompt
🌐 Deploy Custom domain Netlify + IONOS via Bolt prompt

Challenges I ran into

  • ElevenLabs rate limits → upgraded to Pro.
  • Async orchestration → Supabase Edge Functions + realtime; UI shows progressive spinners.
  • Privacy vs. sharing → Private buckets by default; expiring signed URLs for social posts.
  • Prompt loops with Bolt → learned to tweak, not rage-tweak 😅.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Without any coding experience, I managed to have a working app, that looks professional and functions as I imagined.

What I learned

I learned that with today’s plug-and-play AI tools, even someone who’s never written code can combine speech-to-text, rewriting, voice cloning, and video tech and turn a napkin idea into a working product in days, not months.

What's next for The Pitch Elevator

The mission: let any dreamer sell an idea with the confidence of a TED speaker.

Teachers will drill presentations, accelerators will prep cohorts, creators will polish sponsor pitches.

Roadmap

  1. Skyscraper Mode – up to 3-min pitches.
  2. Team Feedback Threads – async comments & emoji scores.
  3. Multilingual cloning – reach global founders.

Thank You!

I arrived with a sales deck; I’m leaving with a working product that can help thousands ride to “yes.”
Thanks, judges & community!
