We all know that idea alone cannot make a good winning pitch. A good pitch includes an MVP, an aesthetically appealing pitch deck and a great pitch script. For all my aspiring entrepreneurs, I know the pain of finding resources which will help me make my presentation, an award-winning pitch. This article is your ultimate guide towards taking your presentation to a whole new level.
MVP
Your Minimum Viable Product could be in any form, right from a website, to an app or a 3D model. You need to understand that your MVP is just a start and in the future, you are going to upgrade your product to a better one. So it is ok if your MVP isn’t up to your expectation.

APPS
You don’t necessarily need to know the coding order to present a working app. Credits to technological advancement, any person without a coding background can show a working model of their app.

PITCH
How to deliver a winning pitch?
To deliver a winning pitch, our pitch structure should be really powerful. A winning pitch should have a relevant why what and how including you business model.
1) WHY
Why are you doing what are you doing? Your why should emphasize the problem you are aiming to solve with your solution. The first few seconds of your pitch is your why. Your first few seconds defines your pitch and how the approach of your audience to it. If your why is boring then no one will listen to your pitch, if you start off with a BANG! Or rhetorical question which makes the audience think and interpret about the cause, then you are on the right track!
2) WHAT
What is your solution in one line? One line should explain your entire solution.
3) HOW
Explain in detail how your solution work. After that, elucidate on how your business model is sculptured and what is your price point including the investment needed.
