Pitch Tuesday #4

Welcome to Pitch Tuesday, where we’ll help you serve up a pitch that’s tight, tasty, and unforgettable! Inspired by , this event is all about getting the right mix of ingredients into your pitch— just like a taco! When things don’t fit, they spill out, and the whole thing falls apart. Pitch Tuesday is your opportunity to make sure your pitch holds together, hits the mark, and leaves a lasting impression.

Concept & Goals: In scheduled 30-minute sessions, two teams (15 min each) step out of their comfort zone and go all-in with pitching. We’ll help you wrap your ideas up in a way that’s clear and convincing. If there’s an ingredient that doesn’t work, we’ll spot it and adjust it together to bring the maximum impact out of your pitch.

• Coaching: Each team is coached with direct guidance to make their message pop.
• Peer feedback: Get an honest and external perspective from the other "winning" team—it’s a chance to see how your pitch impacts your listeners.
• Real-time tweaks: You’ll have a chance to adjust and improve on the spot, making your learning curve sharply go up.
• Punctuality & Organisation: Be sure to arrive at least 5 min before your session to ensure a smooth process.
  

• Instant feedback: Practical advice from coaches and peers helps you see what’s working—and what’s not.
• Learn by doing: Get fresh ideas by watching and working with others.
• Confidence boost: Pitching in a supportive space gives you the guts to go bold and the insights to go smart.
• Low-hanging fruits: It doesn't take much to lose yourself in your area. Strengthen your skills by validating your pitch before you enter the stage.
  

1. Brave zone: Step out of your comfort zone and enter the "Brave Zone". A Zone where you will feel friction and start to grow!
2. Respect each other’s ideas: Feedback should be honest, helpful, and constructive. Listen closely and be thoughtful.
3. Go with the Flow: Every pitch can be refined, so be ready to change things up.
4. Celebrate wins: When your pitch wraps up tight like a taco that holds, everyone celebrates! So follow up with your coach and peers after you nail your pitch on stage!

• The first 5 minutes of the slot will be reserved for your pitch. We recommend to work on pitches that do not exceed the 3-minute length.
• For the next 10 minutes, your Coach and the second team take over by giving you feedback and asking questions about your pitch and everything
• The remaining 15 minutes are (if given) reserved for the second team/pitch attending the slot. If only one team is present, you get an extended feedback session due to the peer feedback missing.

"Whoops!" is what I said when half of my taco filling fell out. I had to say goodbye to my white shirt, which had been messed up.
Then it struck me. The way I structured my taco, what I put in first and what second didn't make it easy for my ingredients to stick within the taco. This is pretty much what I see when I work with founders, who walk on stages to conquer people's hearts and minds with their pitch.
The challenge when creating an amazing pitch is to find the right things to say. The right ingredients. This is where I - your Coach and proclaimed Pitch Doctor - step in.
After witnessing hundreds of pitches and working with individuals and teams to improve their performance on stage, I would like to give you the chance to make the best out of your pitch
