Idaho Pitch

At the Idaho Pitch, teams:

  • Receive critical feedback on their product
  • Gain confidence in pitching their idea
  • Sharpen their presentation skills

The best teams learn to network with a dozen or more investors in the pitch’s social reception format, refine their product’s value proposition and attract seed capital to turn their ideas into reality.

Pitch Essentials

A solid pitch is short, containing just enough detail about your product to capture the attention of judges. It should convey your idea, why it is important, and identify:

  • the problem you are solving
  • the product’s target market and the business model used to reach it
  • how your product solves the problem
  • advantages you have over the competition
  • what you want from the investor

This ‘teaser’ entices investors to schedule a follow-up meeting, hoping to satisfy their own curiosity. During the follow-up you can pitch your full plan, decide how the investor can help you and determine how you can help them.
