General Lecture Notes

• Slides (Week 9 or 8) will explain how to do the presentations.
• Don't want all presentations to be the same. It should be appropriate to get the message across, but be creative.
• Your presentation must have the elements outlined in the guide.
• The pitch is 4 minutes, with 2 minutes of discussion
• Very important to say (1) Who cares about this (2) Why you?
• [Q&A] The jury actually does not have that much weight
• Important to emphasize your user group in the presentation
• There are some youtube links in the week [8/9] slides with examples for presentations. The last/third one is the best.
• In the first minute, the problem is only explained (in the video). This is considered to be a good thing.
• You should explain how you create and capture value.
• You must be able to answer the jury questions. Not doing so makes you look bad.
• Should answer how pricing works and money flows
• No tables or long details on financial stuff
• Maybe give a graph of the hockey-stick curve.
• Put all the extra details on backup slides (costs)
• Will be analyzing (1) how we reach users (2) how we add value to customers (3) how we bring in money (4) how much it costs to serve customers
• Must be able to explain the need and urgency of not just a single person, but the larger market.
