Here's a bunch of details on how to record a video presentation and share it on a video hosting platform, if you're completely new to this type of assignment.

Do NOT read to us from a script or from a slide.

You are persuading your audience that you are the best person to run this business and that you are worthy of their investment of time and expertise in offering you feedback and helping you. Reading to us undermines that goal.

You may use slides or props but your face should still be visible.

Additional, requested insights on what makes a good pitch:

You're telling a story and getting us invested in your business model - This can be a new style for many who are used to standardized classroom presentations

Your goal at the of this pitch is to gather feedback about your business model, solution idea, and understanding of your customers - it is NOT to get the audience to invest in your company financially or buy your product (mindset shift if you're thinking this is a Shark Tank style pitch!)

Help us understand the problem customers are facing - Empathize with those customers, make us feel their frustration or want or problem

Establish yourself as an authority on this problem and the right person to identify and distribute the solution

Share the solution in an attention-grabbing way - You want the audience to say "Oh, wow. Why didn't I think of that?" or "That's a great idea!" or "I hadn't thought of it that way before."

Dive into some details about your target market - Who exactly is this solution a best fit for? How will you reach these customers?

Very high-level summary of financials - 30-45 seconds

REMEMBER - Your goal at the of this pitch is to gather feedback about your business model, solution idea, and understanding of your customers - it is NOT to get the audience to invest in your company or buy your product mindset shift if you're thinking this is a Shark Tank style pitch.
