Week 12 Pitch Perfect

It was an interesting session in class this week because we were suddenly made to pitch to other groups and really explain our patent and business idea in a clear and concise manner. We were rather surprised by the change in class schedule, and we did not do a good job at making our pitch at the beginning. However, as we moved around the classroom 'pitching' to different groups, we saw our problems and tried to improvise and improve as we go along. Our pitch was definitely more better at the end of the session!

Here's a video of Nitin explaining what our patent is, in a short 1 minute time. This was a video taken at the beginning of the session. We could all say Nitin improved his explanation of the patent to be much clearer and direct, at the end of the session. This is also partly due to Prof Tal giving him advice and making him redo the pitch. 

Some of our classmates also commented that they could understand what our patent is about through Nitin's pitch because he did not use too many big words that the layman could not understand.

Our group also did many runs of a group pitch to explain what the problem is, what is our solution and what are the business prospects in terms of competition, revenue and market size.

Here's a video of earlier pitch:

We also learned many things from other groups by listening to their pitch and taking in their feedback for our group. Some of the feedback we received were 'don't use too many scientific terms', 'give some numbers to show the significance of our problem or solution', 'have a clear role as to which member talks about which area' etc. We also received some positive comments like 'good transition between speakers', 'good energy', 'clear explanation of the problem and how it is relevant'.

We are definitely grateful for all the feedback and comments we received and will continue to work on our pitch before the big day!
