PITCH RESEARCH


1. Less is always more. 
Present your idea in a manner that's short, sweet and to the point. Be confident. If the judges don't grasp your concept in a short time span, they may presume that the target audience won't understand it either.
2. Never hypothesize. Execute, execute, execute. 
Inspire confidence with facts, not fiction. Most investors seek out low-risk movie ideas and films with proven facts and guaranteed possibility's. A well researched idea is a GOOD IDEA. with other various components. 
3. Leave the hockey sticks on the ice.
Excite investors about your big picture, but be reasonable and responsible. Avoid hockey stick projections. Respectable investors will not take you seriously if you present them with nonsensical financial graphs and facts. Be open to opinions and try to understand the worse-case  scenario and the best outcome and try meet in the half way line. DON'T get carried away with thinking it will go perfectly the first time
."Rome wasn't built in a day. Your business won't be either"

4. Choose not to be the smartest person in the room. 
Know what you know, know what you don't know and find the people who know what you don't know. Build a good team with knowledge and skills. The smartest leaders in the world are those who surround themselves with smarter people. The audience and the investors are not only investing in a concept but in the team itself as well.
