Presenting Your Project: The 90-Second Pitch

A simple structure for slides and pitches that works for IFGIC, GIFT, and your dashboard video.

Whether you're presenting at GIFT, IFGIC, or recording your dashboard video, the same structure works: people remember stories, not features. It has five beats and fits in 90 seconds.

Step 1 of 4

Learn the five beats

The person — "Meet my grandmother. She loves gardening, but her hands hurt too much to use a trowel."
The problem — one sentence about why this matters, and to how many people.
The invention — what you built, shown not described. A photo or a 10-second demo beats three slides of text.
The proof — what happened when a real person tried it. One honest number or quote: "She gardened for 40 minutes without pain."
The next step — what you'd do with more time, materials, or help. This is what the next steps box on your project page is for!
