Week 10 - Pitch Practicing (Broke my New Record)
Before the Record - The prototype went great! We've validate that our features were desired by them differently since they have their own preferences. Followed up by a feedback survey, we discover that those who responded will use our app while 1/3 of them are willing to pay. Amazing!
During this week, we run our work that we've done so far with Isaac and hopefully gain some advice and directions. We showed him everything from the business model Canva, revenue stream, journey mapping, the prototype, the response. He liked what we did and gave us some confirmation that we are on the right path and are in a strong position. This is what we need, my team took this to their hearts and boosted their confidence. Getting some advice on how to put the strong foot forward in the pitch, we continued to discuss after the meeting with Isaac, and work on how we want our slides to be, what we wanted to talk, and what are the information we want to show. I created the initial pitch structure and divided into time slots for better navigation. We split our way and work on each assigned part over the week before meeting up on Monday, the pitch practicing day.
Breaking the Record - Who on earth thought that pitch practicing, wouldn't be pitch practicing. That was us and apparently most of the class, Hahaha!
Struggled, we ran to the second floor and started working on the pitch. Sarah and I worked on the slides, Fiona and Nhung worked on the script. In 25 minutes, we came up with a fixer-upper pitch that is usable. Yay! We broke a record! Hoooofff!
Given an extra hour, we use the time wisely to polish the slides, finish the script, and practice practice practice. Coming back to class, we were able to deliver a good pitch and Isaac provided some constructive feedback which would put us in a better spot.
After the Record - we took the advice and change the pitch accordingly. On Wednesday, we decided to meet up again and work on the pitch before sending another run through. We sent 2 videos over the week while each of them are getting better and stronger.
Pitch day is coming.......
