In this instructional excerpt, Stacy Chin explains how to craft the 'Describe the Company and Team' portion of an NSF project pitch within a 250‑word limit. She advises splitting the response into two sections: a high‑level company overview covering mission, founding date, founders, and key milestones; and a team overview listing each member’s name, role, relevant experience, and past achievements to demonstrate credibility. The guidance emphasizes concise, persuasive language that shows the team’s capacity to execute the proposed effort. The segment concludes with a promotional plug for a pitch template on keepyourequity.co, offering a 50% discount with the code APPROVEMYPITCH.

Here is how you can get your NSF project pitch accepted. Describe the company and team. Your response needs to fit within the 250-word limit. Break your response into two different sections. First, give a high-level summary of your company. What is your company's mission? When was it founded and by whom? And whether you have completed any key milestones to date. And then finally, you can summarize the key personnel within your team. Here you should convey that you have all the necessary expertise to carry out your proposed effort. And so to summarize your team, clearly state the names each of your team members and mention their roles in the company. It is also vital to draft a couple of sentences that highlights their relevant past experiences and past accomplishments to demonstrate credibility.
