Pitch Dingman: Preparing Your Pitch for the Competition
Your pitch should be a 5-minute presentation providing a brief overview of
your business idea. It is meant to help you—as an entrepreneur—to practice and
hone your ability to verbalize and sell the idea to early stage investors such
as:
- Friends and Family
- Angel Investors
- Venture Capital Firms
Topics to include in your pitch are:
- What is the problem you are trying to solve?
- How big is your problem? Talk about addressable market size.
- What is your solution to the problem and what is the value proposition
for the customer.
- Who are your competitors and why is your solution better?
- How will you make money? What are your revenue stream(s)? Marketing and
distribution strategy?
- Management team—who? What backgrounds and experiences do they
bring?
- Use of funds—how will you use $2,500 prize money should you win the
competition?
Be passionate and show great enthusiasm for your idea!
