What is the ideation and pitch assignment? The ideation and pitch assignment is the first part of the BBQ New Venture Competition and it is completed individually. You are required to develop and pitch an idea for a new venture by completing the following three deliverables: o Ideation Chart 0 Value Proposition Canvas (for your selected idea) 0 Pitch Presentation (2 minutes max, delivered in Lab 7, pitch script also submitted) What is the Pitch? The pitch is a short, persuasive individual presentation of your venture idea. One of the rst and most important activities an entrepreneur needs to do when developing a venture idea is to share it with others prospective customers, co-founders, suppliers, investors, etc. To move forward with their venture, they will initially need feed back and then they will need commitments of valuable resources. Their success hinges on being able to pitch their idea effectively. We will discuss the art of the pitch in lecture, including the structure, opening and close, delivery and connection with audience. Lecture slides summarizing the details will be posted for your reference. To sufficiently prepare for the delivery of your pitch, you are required to write a pitch script. When you present your pitch, you do not have to follow this script 'word for word' - in fact, you want to ensure you are not simply reading it. If you do, you may not sound and appear engaging, natural and conversational. Instead, the purpose of writing a script is to ensure: 0 you have thought through the essential elements of a pitch as discussed in lecture, 0 you have put considerable effort and preparation into this assignment, and 0 your idea is original and unique to you (the script will be reviewed in Turnitin.com). How do I format the pitch script?
