Pitch Template
The five-part structure: problem, solution, who it's for, why it matters, and what's exciting.
Answer these five and you have a complete pitch. Aim for about two minutes total — roughly 25 seconds per part. Clarity beats polish.
1
The problem
What did you notice that bugs people?
2
The solution
Your idea, in one clear sentence.
3
Who it's for
Who has this problem most?
4
Why it matters
What changes if your idea exists?
5
What's exciting
What makes it different or surprising?
Tip:practice it out loud at least twice. End on your most exciting line — that's what judges remember.
