Final Presentations. Monday January 17, 16:00 at ICT-411

The final presentations will take place in person.

The format presentations is:

  • Pitch (3 minutes) - here you will give an overview of your progress as to investors or general audience.
  • Technical presentation (7 minutes) - as the pitch cannot cover technical details, this is the opportunity to cover those.
  • Discussion (10 minutes)

The recommended pitch structure is: 1. Intro (10 sec) Who are you? One memorable sentence about your idea. 2. Why, Who, What (90 sec) What is the value you are creating? Who is the target whose problem you are solving? 3. Future vision, business model (40 sec). What is the potential for growth. What is the plan to make money? How to get to customers? 4. Team (20 sec) What relevan experience does the team have. 5. End statement. Finish your pitch with a strong statement.
