DESCRIPTION

Pitching is one of the most essential skills an entrepreneur can have. It will happen that at any given time you're going to have to convince customers, investors, co-founders, candidates, the media, and even your family that what you're doing is new and compelling. Pitching in 5 minutes is a form of an un-interrupted pitching format, used for demo at events like Startup Weekend. And this part requires attention and special structuring since you need to deliver the message to a big audience.
