• Your presentation should include a company description and history, mission statement, your products/services, industry data, your customer description, a competitor analysis, financials relevant to an investor and assumptions, and future plans include growth projections.
• Your pitch should be 10-15 minutes long.
• You can record your presentation using Screencastomatic (www.screencastomatic.com) and upload your presentation as an MP4

Please dress professionally or use the voiceover only function (showing only the PowerPoint).

You can instead use the voiceover option in Microsoft PowerPoint. Please see instructions on how to do this here.

ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE!
