Work in teams of five or less or individually on your PowerPoint presentation. Make sure to include at least one slide for each category below:
- Start with a vision. Describe what life will be like in the future as if your idea were fully realized. This should be a concise and impactful vision that is calculated to surprise and ignite interest in hearing more.
- Describe your idea. Build on the vision and explain how your idea would allow the vision to become a reality. List ways you would solve hurdles and problems and clear the way to the impact you’ve already promised. This is where you want to use figures to show size, impact, etc.
- List benefits/impact. Clearly describe the benefit: deliver products faster, earn a margin premium, provide better customer experience, or improve overall efficiency.
- Analyze the competition. Demonstrate that you know the business environment by showing competing products or services and explaining why your offering is better.
- Why are you the person to back for this idea? Describe why they should back you. This includes your background on success and challenges that you’ve had in the past.
- Conclusion and close. In one sentence, reiterate your idea and its impact on them. Add a closing sentence where you ask for investors.
If needed, use ideas here to get students thinking of an innovation to pitch to investors.
Presentations are due Monday, October 23rd.
