I don’t think we have anything left to do except the actual pitch on Monday! We made some changes after dress rehearsal but we have nothing else to do from today (Sunday) to Monday except to practice.
We put in screenshots from the app onto the presentation, as well as swapped out one of our competitors for one that is more similar and has more competitive features. We also made some small adjustments to our scripts, made sentences flow better, added and deleted information. Just small things. I don’t want to give a lot away!
We will have more to do after the pitch than before.
Other than that, we will practice in person Monday morning with our group, and then (if possible) we may try and volunteer to go first. I like going first better, helps get rid of the nervous energy fast. The waiting is honestly the worst part. Presenting itself isn’t all that bad.
Outside of class, I got to spend time with friends I haven’t seen in a while and we had a much-needed girl’s night. I also got to go back to work today! (Covering a shift so the trainers could go watch one of the graduated dogs get handed off to a Veteran at the Seahawks game). I got to see all my pups and the new ones too! All 16 happy slobbery dogs. It was good for the soul. Especially because my apartment is full of cats and I am in no way a cat person. It was nice to be surrounded by wagging tails. I don’t hate cats, they’re just not my forte.
Anyway, I am glad my super busy week is over, for the most part. I am excited about Thanksgiving, mostly to see family, since we didn’t get to see each other last year due to Ms. Rona virus. I think this week will be good. 🙂
Hi Sophie,
Like you, I definitely want to go first and get the presentation out of the way. Thankfully I have been able to experience many interview and presentation settings the past few weeks so I am more prepared than ever! It is still very scary though – especially when you walk up there and look at all the audience. Oh well, we are going to do great. See you tonight!
Nathan
Hey Sophie!
I am writing this after your pitch so I might have some future insight haha.
You guys did a great job. I think that your group might’ve been the best E1 group along with the other one. Your pitch was very cohesive and the audience could easily tell y’all applied yourselves. One thing I would recommend for future ventures is making sure you have deep research. Go above and beyond with your research because that might just be the most important aspect of any venture!
