The teams will pitch their ideas to the class. Each team will
be given a time of 60 to 90 seconds. Either one member or
the entire team can pitch the idea.
While an idea is being pitched by one team the rest of the
class will be carefully evaluating the idea as a venture
capitalist. The VC will evaluate the idea focusing on the
uniqueness of the idea, market opportunities, capability of
the team to start and sustain the venture, overall
presentation by the pitcher (confidence, logical,
persuasive and handling the questions).
The VC can ask questions based on the material covered
in this course,
what questions would you ask the firm's founders before
making your funding decision? What answers would
satisfy you?
The VC can: make a decision on just the
information provided in the pitch, would you fund this
company? Why or
why not?
