Perry-Air! Damn, I never realized how many good ideas are hidden in sci-fi movies!
But then people are selling glacier and iceberg water in bottles or ice cubes, so...
The marketing is done for you. All you have to work on is the tech.
yes. a LOT of them go for a cure teaser.
i simply jump to the conclusion that the founder is bad at communicating if they can’t get this one detail across.
cure -> cute

It is extremely difficult. And extremely important. Until you can succinctly explain what a company does, you don't understand the problem/customer/solution well enough.
PG had a recent tweet that touched on this in response to someone pitching an intentionally ridiculous product (at least, that's how their tweet read to me):
"Believe it or not, this is not the worst pitch I've received. It's (a) concise and (b) I can tell what your product is. Those two alone may push it into the top half." [0]
It's apparently harder than it should be to succinctly explain what the company does before explaining why it's a good investment or why you need investment.
