What is the importance of incorporating traction in a business pitch?

Traction is an essential component to incorporate into a business pitch because it demonstrates to potential investors that your business is not merely an idea, but a venture that has already garnered some success and is on the path to growth. Traction could be in the form of sales, active users, partnerships, or even pre-orders. It’s a tangible proof that there’s demand for your product or service and that your business model is working.

By showcasing traction, you can significantly increase the credibility of your pitch. Investors are more likely to invest in a business with proven traction as it reduces their perceived risk. It shows that you’re not only capable of creating a good product or service, but also of attracting and retaining customers. Furthermore, traction can indicate the potential scalability of your business.
