Final Pitch @ LISPOLIS

4 junho 2025, 10:06 • Miguel Amaral

Dear Students,

In order to organize the event and to keep the audience engaged, Lispolis suggested that teams should have 5 minutes for the pitch. Please adapt your presentation accordingly and rehearse it a couple of times. In general , if you consider 1 minute per slide it will give you a good control  of the pace of the presentation, but if you want to include more slides that is ok, as long as you do not exceed the 5 minutes. You can prepare some backup slides in case the jury asks for something more technical. 

Each team will have a different approach that is suited to its project; however, in general, try to start with a story, a persona, a practical case - showing an evident  problem – so that you can engage the audience immediately. Next explain how the problem is being solved in that specific market. Explain  how  the problem is being currently addressed and how the company can improve the current solution (discuss your proposal/assumptions). Then you can show how you confirmed your assumptions with secondary and - essentially -  primary data,  through interviews to specialists and stakeholders over the course of the semester. For example include one methodological slide with a chart (or other type of visualisation) with the number of interviews (weekly and accumulated) you did over the last months, the type of interviewees, the age distribution of interviewees, etc. Use pictures; use simple but appealing layouts/ graphic design; use a large font type and few words/sentences per slide. Do not show the complete BMC in the final pitch – it will be full of text and hard to understand. Focus on the dimensions that are really central in your solution/proposal.

You do not have to present the promotional video at Lispolis - you should uploaded it in Fenix until 13 June, we postponed the deadline so that you can focus on the pitch now.

If you need additional help just let us know.
