business pitch 2
Prepare a pitch deck for your company using a PowerPoint File WITH AUDIO.
Your presentation will be uploaded to ELMS and the Instructor and/or the TA will review your pitch. NOTE: THE PITCH MUST BE LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. ANY PITCHES THAT RUN LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES WILL BE STOPPED AT THE 10 MINUTE MARK AND GRADED AS OF THAT POINT IN THE PRESENTATION – JUST AS YOU WOULD BE STOPPED BY A VC IF YOU WERE PARTICIPATING IN A PITCH COMPETITION WHICH WAS LIMITED TO 10 MINUTES.
Note: The pitch deck is less important than your product, vision, team and execution, the factors that ultimately attract investment. However, it exists to convey those aspects of your company and pique investors’ interest in hearing more. Using the following points as a guideline, develop a “winning pitch†for your new venture. 1. Create a memorable “one-liner†– an opening vision/mission statement that catches the attention of your audience. 2. Know your audience. 3. Use between to 8-10 slides, providing the following information: a. Cover slide, with logo and contact information, b. Opportunity, c. Management team, d. Product, e. Market size, f. Business model, g. Competition, h. Go-to-market strategy, h. Traction, and i. How much money you’re raising and the “use of proceedsâ€. 4. If your pitch includes a demo, make sure you have enough time in the pitch session to do it properly – otherwise DON’T. You can demo the product later.
When your pitch is completed, upload the PowerPoint to ELMS for the TA and Instructor to listen to and grade your pitch.
Your submission with this assignment will not be shared with classmates, and will only be viewable by University staff.
