Grabbing the investors attention, explaining to them, in a concise fashion something you know so well and conveying to them your passion for the project are intrinsic components of your pitch. Often we can be too close to the subject, we know every detail of it. It can take an independent view to fully see, explain and interpret what you are trying to say.
Hi, my name is Colm. In my years in corporate banking in Ireland I have heard many a pitch. Some have been good, many awful. I know the importance of grabbing the audiences attention. I have considerable experience in pitching ideas on behalf of my customers to credit committee. This required me to present the customers wishes and ideas for a new audience. I have also spent time in improving my presentation construction as a member of toastmasters and during my Masters of International Entrepreneurship Management course. As you would expect, this course incorporated significant practice in construction and delivery of such pitches.
I look forward to discussing your project in due course.
