Description

The Pitch

To wrap up the three weeks of work, the hackathon will end with pitches of your creations. Pitches are composed of two main parts which mostly override one another in the content but have different formats: 


I. Video pitch 

For the video part, you have two strict requirements: 

  • no longer than 2 minutes max (only the first 2 min will be considered)

  • uploaded to Taikai platform when submitting the project

For the rest, it is up to you, but we recommend structuring the video into 4 parts: 1. the problem, 2. the solution, 3. what you accomplished and 4. finally what you are planning to do next. 

So you have 2 minutes to cover 4 topics. We suggest dedicating about 30 seconds for each topic, but you are free to be more flexible. When showing off the demo, we recommend you not doing a walkthrough and focusing on the 2-3 features that help the user the most. 

The link to the video will have to be submitted alongside to your project page on Taikai by midnight 4th November. 


II. Textual pitch submission on Taikai

Composed of answer to 7 questions that you should prepare in advance before submitting to Taikai: 

  • The problem your project solves

  • The solution you bring to the table

  • What you have done during the hackathon

  • The solution’s impact to the industry

  • The necessities in order to continue the project

  • The value of your solution(s) 

  • The URL to the prototype [Github, Website,...]

Under the resource tab, you can download a GSF templated ppt that you can utilize for your pitch. This needs to be submitted, alongside the video by Midnight on Friday 4th November.


If you have any questions, feel free to contact us on the Discord channels.
