There was a lot of content in this pitch deck that was I was unfamiliar with, including pricing strategy, business model, the Ask, etc. There was probably one lecture slide that I identified regarding how to determine the Ask but it seems like a lot of other teams still underestimated how much monetary investment to ask for. For the future, I think more emphasis on the most important parts of delivering a pitch would be appreciated. Also, more explanation on why the practice of pitching is useful to the product management industry would really motivate why we are partaking in this exercise.
All in all, I think I learned a lot about delivery — not just verbal delivery but visual delivery. Visuals are so important in augmenting your ask and making your pitch convincing. Data needs to be accurate and visually digestible. I found my self simplifying our slides heavily to really get the key points across. I saw that other teams included a lot of information in their slides but it made some slides often unreadable during the presentation, especially if I was sitting in the back. It’s definitely worth having two versions of a slide: one that is for presentation and one that is for more details. That is why the appendix is easily helpful.
