How to Pitch Your Idea to the NBMAA
As the contest’s name suggests, the Scale-Up Pitch Challenge revolves around a pitching process, in which entrants explain their business to a panel of judges.
Your pitch should discuss:
Who the target market is
What value the product/service adds to customers’ lives
What sets the product apart from competitors
How it will generate revenue
How much revenue they expect in the first year
Each business gets three minutes to deliver their initial pitch, which must be accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. The pitch segment is followed by a three-minute Q&A session with the panel of judges.
As the organization states on its website, the goal of the Scale-Up Pitch Challenge is to “help members create businesses that are scalable.” So if you decide to apply, be prepared to discuss your plans for scaling with the panel.
We’ll start with a brief questionnaire to better understand the unique needs of your business.
Once we uncover your personalized matches, our team will consult you on the process moving forward.
