Founder demos
Founder demo video script notes
Founder videos need clarity fast: what problem you solve, why it matters, what the product does, and what the viewer should do next. GhostCue keeps those cues visible while you record.
Quick answer
A founder demo video script should keep the message tight: problem, audience, product path, supported proof, and ask. GhostCue keeps those cues visible while you record the product on Mac, so the demo does not drift into every feature you know.
GhostCue is a hidden teleprompter for Mac screen recordings. See your notes while you record; keep them out of the final video.
Founder demos can drift when the product is familiar
You know the product too well, which makes it tempting to explain every feature. Viewers usually need the opposite: a clear problem, a focused path through the product, and a simple ask.
A private script outline helps you stay disciplined while still sounding like the person building the thing.
When founder demo notes help
Founder demos need focus because the person who knows the most is often most tempted to say too much.
Best for
- Launch videos that need a clear problem, product proof, and next action.
- Investor or customer walkthroughs where the product path should support one promise.
- Technical founder demos with setup steps, caveats, or commands to remember.
Watch out for
- Do not invent metrics, customer claims, or proof points to make the demo sound stronger.
- Avoid explaining every feature when one path proves the point.
- Keep the ask specific: download, try, buy, reply, book, or share feedback.
A founder demo script that stays focused
- Open with the painful moment your product fixes.
- Show only the product path that proves the promise.
- Add proof points you can support without inventing claims.
- Close with the exact action: download, try, buy, reply, or book.
Examples
- Record a launch clip with the pain point, demo path, and download ask in the note.
- Walk investors through one workflow while keeping unsupported claims out of the script.
- Make a technical demo where setup commands and caveats are visible to you.
