1) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch. Describe what stood out to you as important, what feedback surprised you the most, what feedback you think was outright wrong or silly, what feedback you thought was most useful and insightful. Based off of the feedback from my peers, my first elevator pitch was well-received. The comments that stood out to me as the most important were the ones that referenced my personal connection to my pitch and my use of statistics to back my claim that there is a need for this app's existence. Those were the two focal points of my pitch and it was nice to see that was noticed. I was surprised most by the comment that said I appeared confident while presenting. I think I filmed my elevator pitch about ten times to get one take where I didn't fumble over my words. I also thought that comment was most useful because it reminded me of the importance of practicing. It's okay to reference your notes or script, but the more you go over it beforehand, the easier it is to recall the words without assistance and that can help create the air of confidence.
2) What did you change, based on the feedback? To keep my pitch within the general time frame, I edited out a few statistics about the growing rate of veganism in the United States. I also threw out some overly descriptive sentences to focus on the core message. To wrap up my elevator pitch, I made sure to include the possible price of the app, I asked for a specific amount of money to be invested, I put a time frame on the investment return, and I mentioned how the investment would be repaid. I made these adjustments after watching the lecture that provided feedback on the pitches of the brave students that submitted theirs for the class to review.
