Tips from the MAFEX Team: How Do You Create a Pitch?

Powi-plus students in grades 9 and 10 recently presented their product ideas to a panel from MAFEX, the startup service at Philipps University of Marburg. – So this is what it feels like when founders and young entrepreneurs present their ideas on TV on “The Lion’s Den”!

The students at Steinmühlen learned that a pitch lasts 2 minutes, is presented from memory, and ends with a clear call to action, a clear message. The time in between should be filled with confident statements that highlight a great product and a competent team. Ultimately, the project should be realistically feasible.

The student groups had 12 minutes to prepare their respective presentations for the team led by MAFEX Executive Director and Professor Dr. Vivien Procher. Although the presentations already sounded quite professional, the groups still received a number of tips from the experts on how to further refine their presentations.
