Market Day – Pitch Reflection
Consider the following questions and answer them completely. Use complete sentences and proper conventions. Show that you have really reflected on the questions. Write your answers to the questions on your blog.
- How do you think your pitch went? Summarize the parts of your pitch in 3 to 5 sentences.
The pitch went ok ,when Ainsley ,Oliver ,and I went into the long room and there were five people including Mr. Bouman in their seats. I felt a little shy and that I would pass out. When we were in the middle of the pitch it went better than I thought. Our presentation went well.At the end of the presentation we just had to get an offer. I was excited that we got a least one offer but even better we got two offers. One of of the people that made an offer was named Jonathan. The other person that made a deal with us was named Franky. Jonathan’s deal was he would give us the $50.00 if we give him $1.00 extra then we offered him.Franky would give us the $50 dollars that we needed and the $5.00 that we offered plus a free marshmallow shooter which will make us lose $2.50 because we are making 40 marshmallow shooters and and selling the marshmallow shooters for one shooter is $2.50. We went with Jonathan’s deal because he wanted to have $56.00. Franky wanted the $55 and a free marshmallow shooter for a life time use. and that will be only $1.50 different then Franky’s offer.
- What went well?
The part of the presentation when we made eye contact with the venture capitalist. I Thought that it was better to look at venture capitalist when we are explaining or talking to them.Then to look at the computer when we are talking to the venture capitalist.
- What did not go so well?
The paper about expenses and the material did not go so well because we forgot one of the materials on the paper (the marshmallows) I can’t believe that we forgot the marshmallows!!!! I thought in my mind when it was mentioned.
- Describe the setting where your pitch took place.
A long room with a big table and there were five people including Mr. Bouman in their seats ready to hear our pitch.
- How did you feel before, during, and after the pitch?
Before the pitch I felt nervous that our product was too expensive and that Oliver, Ainsley, and me not get a offer. in the middle of the pitch it went better than I thought. At the end of the pitch I was so excited that we got two offers.
- Reflect on your preparation. Do you think you were well prepared? Why or why not?
Yes we were because we did not forget anything that we had to do because we practised a lot.
- If you could do the pitch again, what would you do differently?
to Explain more about the topic that we are telling the venture capitalist.
- What questions from the Venture Capitalists surprised you?
the question that surprised me is this question “will customers buy your marshmallow shooters?” Because all the years that I been at school all the marshmallow shooters out.
- What three recommendations would you give to another entrepreneur of your age?
One of my recommendations is that you should practice a lot on your pitch. I also recommend is that should try your very best to be confident not scared. The last thing that I recommend is that you should have a product that is a good selling thing.
- What offers did you receive and accept from the Venture Capitalists?
One of the offers was that Jonathan would give us the $50.00 if we give him $1.00 extra then we offered him. The offer that made was that Franky
would give us the $50 dollars that we needed and the $5.00 that we offered plus a free marshmallow shooter. We went Jonathan’s offer because he only wanted $56. Franky’s the extra marshmallow shooter and we would lose $1.50 if we went with Franky’s offer.
- Now, watch the video of your pitch. Any new insights?
