Welcome to GrowGetters - the future skills podcast. You may remember, in Season 1, Episode 8 we covered the Art of the Pitch which delved into a couple of methods to craft a killer pitch.

So in today’s episode, we speak from our experience of what the real Dos and Don’t of pitching are. We were super lucky enough this year to pitch our business a number of times - and to pretty decent success!

We pitched GrowGetters to a panel of industry experts in August and won a coveted spot as a fellow for a 9-month media startup incubation program and grant with Media Lab Bayern - one of Europe’s leading media tech innovation hubs.

We also pitched against 100 other female startups in the XATHON hackathon - one of Europe’s biggest women’s tech events - and were selected as a finalist ranking number 5!

So in other words, we have sharpened our pitch game and learned so much over the last 12 months, and we want to share those learnings with YOU!

In this episode, we take a quick step back to remind us of why it’s such an important exercise to create and refine your business pitch.

And when we say business, this can just as easily apply to you as a personal brand, and of course if you’re also a side hustler.

Sharpening your pitching skills FORCES you to hone in on the most critical and important aspects of your venture.

In a pitch situation, you only get 3 minutes, and maybe up to 6 minutes if you’re lucky, to share to your audience what you do, why it’s necessary, and why people should buy from you and not others.

In this episode we dive into:

• How to structure a winning pitch
• The biggest Dos and Don’ts when it comes to pitching
• Our #1 “FLEARLING” (failure + learning = flearning) (thanks to Anita Siek for the term) we’ve made from tightening up our pitch game this game.
• And our secret sauce tip you HAVE to include in your pitch at all costs.
