not to mention how embarassing I found it. \u00a0 I could barely handle watching myself. \u00a0I eventually gave up on speaking without reading, and taped what I had written to my iPhone. \u00a0 \u00a0We cut a little hole in the centre of the page so that the camera could see me and the text was surrounding it so that it wouldn&#8217;t look like I was reading, as my hope was I would still be looking at the camera.<\/p>\n<p>As for my Venture Pitch I was so worried about going over time like I had in my Elevator Pitch that I tried to keep everything very succinct. \u00a0When I finished and realized that it was only 6 and half minutes I realized that perhaps I was too concise. \u00a0 In summary below are my thoughts on the strengths and limitations of my pitches.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Limitations<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>my Elevator pitch is 10 seconds over a minute. \u00a0 I know it reads 1 minute 17 seconds but 7 seconds are just on the title and ending frame.<\/li>\n<li>I appear to reading from my script at some points in my Elevator pitch.<\/li>\n<li>Unaware of the specific dollars and cents needed to fund a venture such as Evernote folio my request was a bit vague.<\/li>\n<li>I believe I covered all the critical facets in my Venture pitch but it is only 6 minutes and 30 seconds. \u00a0 Given that I had time left over, perhaps I could have further explained some areas.<\/li>\n<li>the idea of portfolios is not new<\/li>\n<li>I do not show specific examples of what the folio templates could look like ~ although I am asking for funding to develop these so?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The content of my Venture Pitch addresses the pain point, solution, differentiation, marketing,\u00a0championship, competition, the ask, and the return of the venture.<\/li>\n<li>The Message speaks to the CEO &amp; Management teams credibility, the credibility and feasibility of the concept, and the marketability include the specific market and competitive edge. \u00a0Furthermore it demonstrates the venture plan.<\/li>\n<li>The speaker conveys enthusiasm, passion, sincerity, and a succinct message.<\/li>\n<li>Based on recommendations regarding pitches, I do not think the pitches have too many bells and whistles. \u00a0 The black and white backgrounds with little amounts of text are meant to capture attention and inform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elevator Pitch\u00a0[youtube]http:\/\/youtu.be\/0-5vR-ogs1Y[\/youtube] Venture Pitch\u00a0[youtube]http:\/\/youtu.be\/N-yh5XQz01c[\/youtube] Personal Reflections: I was surprised by how much fun I had thinking creatively as an entrepreneur. \u00a0 Initially I had a lot of ideas and then I narrowed them done by products I would like to see in the market. \u00a0 E-Portfolio programs are something I believe we need more of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13165,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[141528],"tags":[602673,602672],"class_list":["post-8922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-week-13-venture-forum","tag-evernote-folio","tag-jennifer-barker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8922"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9089,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8922\/revisions\/9089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522sept12\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
