About this simulation
A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation on preparing and delivering a demo-day pitch and surviving the questions, for pre-incubation, incubation and acceleration programmes, student start-up competitions, seed funds that select by pitch and technical, technological and undergraduate entrepreneurship and innovation courses.
Yokasta, a fictional founder in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, collects used cooking oil from frying stands, colmados and restaurants and sells it to a biodiesel plant; she is one of twelve finalists of a fictional pre-incubation programme whose demo day decides a seed grant of up to RD$ 750,000 and a first conversation with two angels.
Round by round you choose the story the five minutes tell and how the market is sized, the traction and the financial slide you show, how you rehearse and exactly what you ask for, and how you answer the jury and follow up in the six weeks after.
Each round is scored on the jury score, your credibility, the meetings requested, the money in play and the risk the jury sees; inflating the traction or inventing a number before the jury caps the score. Spanish with English.
Who it is for
