Bad Ideas Pitch: Conquer Pitching With Humor
Hey guys! Ever feel like the perfect pitch is a myth? Well, buckle up, because the Bad Ideas Pitch Competition, brought to you by the dynamic duo of Playful Sincerity and Evernomics.com, is here to shatter that illusion. Forget the pressure of flawless presentations; this event is all about embracing the gloriously terrible! We're talking about crafting business ideas so outlandish, so wonderfully flawed, that they're guaranteed to make you laugh – all while secretly sharpening your skills.
Unleash Your Inner Pitch Master: What's the Deal?
This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill workshop, folks. The Bad Ideas Pitch Competition is a crucible, a trial by fire, where you'll learn to hone your persuasion skills by selling the unsellable. The main goal is to create structurally sound, yet hilariously terrible business ideas. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’re going to get:
- Pitch Perfection in Under 30 Minutes: Learn how to create and deliver an effective pitch like a pro. This will help you to grab the attention of the audience and keep them engaged. Remember, time is money, and you have limited time to catch their eyes.
- Teamwork Triumph: Get the chance to Co-organize and work in a team with strangers. Teamwork makes the dream work! Collaboration is the key to coming up with the most unusual business ideas, so don’t worry if you don’t know anyone. You’ll be working together in no time.
- The Bad vs. the Good: How to differentiate between bad and good ideas. Learn to dissect what makes an idea fly or flop. The judges will decide whether your pitch is a winner or a loser, so listen and take notes.
You'll be joining a self-organized group to brainstorm a world-improving idea that is fundamentally flawed. And the best part? You'll then craft a high-energy pitch to persuade our panel of judges that your concept deserves funding. This is where your pitch mechanics will get a serious upgrade!
