Tips for the good videopitch
When making a videopitch, you should pay attention to the following:
- Present your idea wihtin the first 20 sec. of the video
- Make it short. A short and precise pitch is more catchy than a lengthy speech
- Show the product. Whether in pictures, demonstrations or video, the product or prototype is easier to understand if you show it one way or another
- Show the team behind the idea
- Remember password protection! When you send your videopitch, remember to protect it by a password. Otherwise, it may harm any future patent application that the product has been disclosed
- Do a technical check. Make sure that the sound is good and turn the camera in the right position. It must be horizontal when filming
- Show expert statements, where potential costumers or partners give their take on the team, the market potential or the idea
Do not do the following:
- Poor quality - both bad lighting and sound can ruin a pitch
- It's not a commercial. It's more about selling the company to the committee and therefore the pitch should not be presented as an advertisement for the product. A commercial does not provide the necessary insight into the company and the team behind it
