FRIDAY, 17 March 2017, Kingston Business School 

15:00 – 18:00 TEAM PRESENTATIONS

18:00 – 19:00 PITCHING COMPETITION

---

Your job this week is to use all the feedback you received last week in your Mock Dragons’ Den to improve your presentations – just like you’ve been improving your products the whole year.

The most important feedback from judges last week was – IMPROVE HOW YOU SPEAK OF YOUR BUSINESS AMBITIONS and CONSIDER THE FUTURE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

When it comes to selecting a team for the National Start-up Final, the judges will be looking for a forward-looking team with energy, ambition and a believable plan for the future to represent Kingston University at the national level of competition.

IMPORTANT:

---

PRESENTATIONS:

• You will have 6 min for your presentation + 10 min to answer questions from judges
• You only need to attend your presentation slot

ALL presentation will be accessed from USB sticks we prepare and hand in to judges. This is to keep us on schedule, and to avoid logging in/out and tech problems.

• ALL teams must send me a Dropbox link to their presentation BY 10AM on THURSDAY 16 March. This will be your final version, and no changes can be made on Friday. This is to ensure you get your beauty sleep.
• Nevertheless, bring a backup copy on a stick with you. You will only be able to use it if something goes wrong with the copy given to judges.
