🗣️ Have you ever pitched in public?

We've started a new chapter for RunEvr - and for us as founders!

We've joined the Plug and Play program, a global innovation platform that helps startups grow through mentorship, connections, and access to investors and industry experts.

Our program runs for 12 weeks, and we'll finish with a Demo Day Expo, where we'll have the opportunity to pitch on stage.

And that's where things get interesting for me =D

During these weeks, I'll be practicing my pitch again and again.
It'll be my first time pitching on stage, and to be honest, there are quite a few things I need to work on.

Luckily, I've already received some great advice from top-class mentors:

• Clear speech in English. Make sure every word is understandable.

• Find the right artistic approach. Don't exaggerate, but don't underestimate yourself either.

• Don't spend the whole pitch looking at the screen behind you. Keep eye contact with the audience.

• Control your pace. Don't rush through the speech.

• Keep slides simple. No walls of text - just clear visuals that support what you're saying.

• And finally, confidence! In everything: gestures, speech, and even your eye contact. That's a key point.

So, I'll be making my first attempt soon. Wish me luck! =)
