Competition stage

You're backstage. Your startup's name is next on the screen. 5 minutes to convince a panel of investors and thousands of live viewers.

Sound familiar?

Structure your 5 minutes

Every great pitch follows a structure. Here are the beats that make yours unforgettable.

0-30s

Opening Hook

Command the room from word one.

Bold statement or live demo beats "Hi, I'm [name] from..."
30-90s

Problem + Market

Size the pain and the opportunity.

Make the audience feel the problem before showing them the numbers.
90-180s

Solution + Demo

Your product in action — the wow moment.

Rehearse your demo 20+ times. Live demos fail when they surprise YOU.
180-240s

Business Model

How you make money and scale.

Unit economics > revenue projections. Show you understand your engine.
240-270s

Traction + Team

Social proof and the team behind it.

Name-drop strategically: advisors, customers, partners that signal credibility.
270-300s

Vision + Ask

The big picture and your specific ask.

End with the world you're building, not a list of features.
