2. Use a power point presentation to walk us through the core points and questions asked by the Judges. Test out the slides and the script before you start recording

3. To record you can use either the Screen Recorder option on Camtasia or simply use the record a power point option. Either option will work well

4. All you need is a microphone and a quiet room to get started. Camtasia has every strong background noise removal tools which you can use to clean up your pitch if you feel the background noise is a problem.

5. When you start recording please remember that we want to see your points (not you) and hear your voice. We want to see how effectively you can answer the questions and win over the judges. Answer the question asked and keeping it to the point and relevant is part of that that plan.

3. Please keep your initial presentations between 2 – 5 minutes.

Here are some sample pitches done using the suggested approach by other mentees in the past.. Please note that these pitches are full business plan presentations and are only presented for learning and illustration purposes.
