firm or angle investor. The pitch is expected to cover the problem statement , innovative
solution , all elements related to marketing analysis , identifying and demonstrating areas of
strength , competitive advantage and sustainability in terms of future prospects. The pitch is
also expected to cover financial analysis , demonstrating the financial backing of your project
and highlighting related Grants that you have applied for or even received and successfully
implemented in your current work and a justification for the amount of investment you are
seeking from the investor. The other objective of this pitch is to further refine your work based
on the learning topics that you have covered over the past couple weeks. Teaching team will
review and evaluate your presentation, from a standpoint of an investor who sits on the panel,
and will subsequently provide you with a valuable feedback from that perspective.

students will be invited to practice and present their work via zoom. The group will be asked
to act as if the presentation is delivered in front of a panel of investors. This practise will
encompasses 10 to 15 students who will be randomly selected by the teaching team to present
their work or either express their interest or volunteer to present their pitch to potential
investors. It is important to note that there is no mark attached to this aspect of the work , and
that Live Zoom presentation will not be graded , or considered as an assessment task. The
schedule of presentation will be released around week 10.
