YOUR PITCH...
This is your opportunity to share your pitch or start-up story with a captive audience in an exciting way. You can test your idea or business, gain valuable feedback and advice and add it to your list of achievements as a founder.
TIPS FOR PITCHING SUCCESS
- Your story is unique so you already have an advantage;
- Practice to ensure you do not over-run - you have five minutes;
- Keep it simple and be concise;
- Make it memorable to ensure you leave a lasting impression;
- Relax, have fun and enjoy the moment.
WHAT SHOULD YOU INCLUDE
Your pitch should be succinct, informative and full of personality in order to capture and keep the audience's attention. There will NOT be presentation facilities so ensure that you prepare a talking pitch only.
Talk about who your customers are, the problem they have and how your products and services solve it for them. Share your major achievements and any interesting facts/figures that differentiate you from your competitors. Include your plans for future growth and how you need to do that.
NOTE: There will not be any equipment so your pitch is all about you. Feel free to get creative and bring samples, handouts or anything tactile.
