Presentations
Three presentations, three different audiences
Different team members give each presentation, and each one has its own aim: convince an investor, sell to the customer, and help a newly joined engineer understand the project.
The green band is the target time. You hear one beep when you enter it and another when you go over.
1. Elevator pitch
Week 2 · one person · 2 minutes (aim for 1:55 to 2:05).
- Clear, realistic and impactful goals.
- Why they matter to an investor in today's economy.
- Product, business model, market and competitors, with concrete facts.
- A clear, natural voice, confidence and energy. No overacting: be yourself.
Structure in 2 minutes: the problem (20 s) · the solution (30 s) · why now and for whom (25 s) · competitors and difference (25 s) · business model and the ask (20 s)
Graded on message (does the vision come across?) and appeal (does it hook?).
2. Customer presentation
Week 4 · two people (not the pitcher) · 10-15 minutes. The goal is to sell the product directly to potential customers.
- Key insights from the market analysis: show you understand what they need and who you compete with.
- Relevant, high-quality mock-ups that help picture the features and their benefits.
- Fully consistent with the Fag-2 documents.
Graded on the message, showing business value, being engaging and matching the documents.
3. Final presentation + demo
16 December · the rest of the team · about 20 minutes of presentation, 10 of demo and 25 of questions from the two grading teachers.
- Designed as the onboarding of a new engineer: methodological and technical aspects.
- A live demo on the classroom screen, by one or two people (two is better if there are features like a chat).
- Show the key, highest-value features; very basic ones can be skipped.
- Use a realistic dataset, not an empty database (you can create, edit and delete during the demo).
- Anything unfinished or untested: explain it instead of showing it.
- Prepare and rehearse it: no improvising.
