4. 8.2 Pitch Guidelines The story of your app  Who, what, where, when, why, how? Sell your company to whoever is listening.  It’s worth investing with us because…  How would you persuade a customer to purchase your app? Connect potential customers/investors with an idea not just the app itself See page 28 of the workbook

5. Pitch Requirements The pitch is 4 minutes long (+/- a few seconds) All members of the team need to appear in the video. The video can be any format the team wants: a skit, presentation in front of slides, testimonials from users, etc. You can also search Technovation on Youtube to watch some other examples.

6. Pitch Suggestions Speak clearly and confidently Make eye contact with the camera Instead of “um”, try pausing or taking a natural breath No gum or candy while speaking Dress for success. Make sure your outfits are appropriate and professional. SMILE! Be proud of your work

7. Visual Aid for Your Pitch People often use slide decks to give the audience a visual reference for presentations. You can choose to do that here if you want to do so.

8. Generate some buzz Get people talking and show you are on to something Use social media to spread the word and create excitement You can use this as part of your pitch video.

9. 8.3 Plan Your Pitch Plan out how your team wants to do the pitch video. Write out a script if you need to do so. What are the things you need to make the video you’re planning? (video camera, computer to edit video, etc)

10. 8.4 Continue Working on Your App Continue working on your app! Check off the features you’ve already completed and see if the features you have left can be completed in the next few weeks.
